I get myself twisted-in threads To meet you at the Alcott I'd go to the corner in the back Where you'd always be And there you are, sittin' as usual With your golden notebook Writing something about someone Who used to be me And the last thing you wanted Is the first thing I'd do I tell you my problems You tell me the truth It's the last thing you wanted It's the first thing I'd do I tell you that I think I'm falling back in love with you I sit there silently Waiting for you to look up I see you smile when you see it's me I had to do something To break into your golden thinking How many times will I do this And you'll still believe? It's the last thing you wanted (tell me, which side are you on, dear?) It's the first thing you do (give me some tips to forget you) You tell me your problems (have I become one of your problems?) And I tell you the truth (could it be easy this once?) It's the last thing you wanted (everything that's mine is a landmine) It's the first thing I'd do (did my love aid and abet you?) I tell you that I think I'm falling back in love with you And I'll ruin it all over I'll ruin it for you I'll ruin it all over And over like I always do I'll ruin it over for you (why don't you rain on my parade?) I'll ruin it for you (shred my evening gown) I'll ruin it all over (read my sentence out loud) And over like I always do ('cause I love this curse on our house) It's the last thing I wanted (tell me, which side are you on, dear?) It's the first thing I'd do (give me some tips to forget you) I tell you my problems (have I become one of your problems?) And you tell me the truth It's the last thing I wanted (everything that's mine is a landmine) It's the first thing I'd do (did my love aid and abet you?) I tell you that I think I'm falling back in love with you (back in love) Back in love with you
