Lyrics

I am alone, keeping up my own company—
Can’t you appreciate it?
That’s a choice I’m making.

I don’t want no scenes, no takin’ apart my dreams—
I just want to take it slow,
For awhile, for awhile.


For awhile, not to show, in many places.
Don’t put up the faces on the windowsill
For all the passersby to know what you’re feelin’ when you’re turnin’ inside out,
For awhile.

Well a long time ago, I thought I would know when it was over,
But I didn’t know how hard it was to go.
Well a long time ago, I thought I would know when it was over,
But I didn’t know how hard it was to go.

Well I don’t want to spend the night,
And I don’t want to play at being lively,
And make you so goddamn happy—
That would make me crazy.

I just want some coffee, with a touch of fantasy,
But I don’t want to feel your sighs, for awhile.

Well a long time ago, I thought I would know when it was over,
But I didn’t know, how hard it was to go.
A long time ago, I thought I would know when it was over,
But I didn’t know how hard it was to go.
But I didn’t know how hard it was to go.
But I didn’t know how hard it was to go, just for awhile,
For awhile.
