Therapy Songtext
von Jonathan Larson

Now, uh, I believe that most women
Are more able to share their feelings than men
Susan and I are typical disrespect
The only thing is, it is not that I don′t share my feelings
I just convert them into songs
And perform them for hundreds and complete strangers
At popular prices

I feel bad, that you feel bad
About me feeling bad, about you feeling bad
About what I said, about what you said
About me not being able to share a feeling

If I thought that what you thought
Was that I hadn't thought about sharing my thoughts
Then my reaction, to your reaction, to my reaction
Would have been more revealing

I was afraid that you′d be afraid
If I told you that I was afraid of intimacy
If you don't have a problem with my problem
Maybe the problem is simply co-dependency


Yes, I know that now you know
That I didn't know that you didn′t know
That when I said, "No"
I meant "Yes, I know"
And that now I know that you knew
That you knew, that I knew you adored me

I was wrong to say you were wrong
To say I was wrong about
You being wrong

When you rang to say that
The ring was the wrong thing to bring
If I meant what I said, when I said "Rings bore me"

I′m not mad that you got mad that I got mad
When you said I should go drop dead

If I were you and I'd done what I′d done
I'd do what you did when I gave you the ring
Having said what I said

But now it′s out in the open
Now it's off our chest
Now it′s 4 a.m.
And we have therapy tomorrow
It's too late to screw
So, let's just get some rest (whoa)
