Don't extend the solo,
Lay the groove too deep
Try not to sing the words
as if you're mumbling in your sleep

Don't say that you won't do it
'cause it's been done before
Don't start a revolution
Just because you're feeling bored

The girls don't care
That you ache to be free
You see, the girls just want
A sweet melody

Don't quote Five Easy Pieces
TiVo Cool Hand Luke
Don't talk about how
God is dead
And love is just a fluke

Don't listen to Frank Zappa,
Late Coltrane, Faust or Can
Just take that twisted heart of yours
And lay it in her hand

The girls don't care
That you ache to be free
You see, the girls just want
A sweet melody

The girls don't care
That you yearn to be free
Girls just want
A sweet, a sweet melody

Show me the bright side and I'll look 'til my eyes catch fire
And please forgive me if I leave you feeling uninspired
My only pleasure is to make that bubble burst
I can't find comfort in the fact that it could be worse

Don't tell me there's so many things for which I should be glad
And I'm truly sorry if I made your party guests feel bad
Could be I think too much or maybe I'm just cursed
I can't find comfort in the fact that it could be worse
