lyrics

You can ask me if I think he's being mean to you at parties,
or if she just wants to take up hiking
because she hates your pork-pastry body.

I know there are close calls,
there are phone calls in the middle of the night
asking you if you're still taken,
and you cannot answer right.

There's the person you wake up with.
There's the person you think of.
I'm just the person who will listen
if you need to talk yourself out of love.

'Cause little things like this add up, I know.
I'm not too good at math,
but I've been beneath that same load
and, if you let it grow,
one day it's going to break your back in half.

So I will always tell a friend to leave a lover.
I will always tell a friend to leave a lover.
I will always tell a friend to leave a lover.
Always tell a friend to leave a lover.

Do I think sometimes he talks too much,
or that she doesn't listen
when he's telling her he's had another inspired vision?
Well, I think they're both at fault.
And I think everybody is.
And there's no reason to hang on once we have all accepted this.

So, if you see something newer,
something greener in another pasture,
why stay mired in the same manure?
Move toward that fence faster.
Knock it down or run around it or jump over.

I will always tell a friend to leave a lover.
I will always tell a friend to leave a lover.

I know you love putting up emotional walls,
but just use the door.
Some fights are not worth loving for,
and the only thing commitment's good for
is to keep getting fucked while you get fucked over.

I will always tell a friend to leave a lover.
I will always tell a friend to leave a lover.

Dear friend, if you are hearing this,
who still can't seem to quit,
know, at least, you're not the only one
who hears their name
when I'm singing it.

Leave your lover.
Leave your lover.
Leave your lover.
Leave your lover.
Leave your lover.
Leave your lover.
Leave your lover.
Leave your lover.
