Cute Without the 'E' (Cut from the Team) Songtext
von Taking Back Sunday

Your lipstick, his collar, don't bother, Angel
I know exactly what goes on

When everything you'll get is
Everything that you've wanted, princess
(Well, which would you prefer)
My finger on the trigger, or

Me face down, down across your floor
(Me face down, down across your floor)
Me face down, down across your floor
(Well, just so long as this thing's loaded)

And will you tell all your friends
You've got your gun to my head
This all was only wishful thinkin'
This all was only wishful thinkin'

And will you tell all your friends
You've got your gun to my head
This all was only wishful thinkin'
This all was only wishful thinkin'
Let's go


Don't bother trying to explain, Angel
I know exactly what goes on when you're on and
How about, I'm outside of your window
(How about I'm outside of your window)

Watchin' him keep the details covered
You're such a sucker
For a sweet talker, yeah
(You're such a sucker)

And will you tell all your friends
You've got your gun to my head?
This all was only wishful thinkin'
This all was only wishful thinkin'

And will you tell all your friends
(The only thing)
You've got your gun to my head
(I regret)

This all was only wishful thinkin'
(Is that I)
This all was only wishful thinkin'
(I never let you hold me back)


Hoping for the best, just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you never loved me

Why can't I feel anything from
(Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins)
Anyone other than you?
(I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you never loved me)

Why can't I feel anything from
(Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins)
Anyone other than you?
(I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you never loved me)

And all of this was all your fault
And all of this

I stay wrecked and jealous for this
For this simple reason
I just need to keep you in mind
As something larger than life

I stay wrecked and jealous for this, for this simple reason
(She'll destroy us all before she's through)
I just need to keep you in mind as something larger than life
(And find a way to blame somebody else)

I stay wrecked and jealous for this, for this simple reason
(She'll destroy us all before she's through)
I just need to keep you in mind as something larger than life
(And find a way to blame somebody else)
