lyrics

I got excellent intentions and unbeatable excuses
And I’m moderate in vices with the usual abuses
I got entertaining stories and a cheerful disposition
And fanatical devotion to a kamikaze mission

You can take your common sense and head it out the door
If you have no confidence in what I’m fighting for
I love you baby, I just love me so much more

And so you see, my vanity comes through for me
More often than you do for me
And in the end I’ll choose the path of most resistance
And you’ll say, “It doesn’t have to be this way”
Try and pull me back in play
Rue the day you ever learned of my existence

I got well-examined motives and a preordained direction
I’m utopian by preference, but I’ll settle for perfection
I got friends of every flavor, evangelical and shifty
And if I can crack this open, I’m taking everybody with me

You can take your common sense and head it out the door
If you have no confidence in what I’m fighting for
I love you baby, I just love me so much more

And so you see, my vanity comes through for me
More often than you do for me
And in the end I’ll choose the path of most resistance
And you’ll say, “It doesn’t have to be this way”
Try and pull me back in play
Rue the day you ever learned of my existence

And you can take your precedents and head ‘em out the door
‘Cause this ain’t like anything that’s ever come before
I love you, baby – I just love me so much more

And so you see, my vanity comes through for me
More often than you do for me
And in the end I’ll choose the path of most resistance
And you’ll say, “It doesn’t have to be this way”
Try and pull me back in play
Rue the day you ever learned of my existence

Yes, you will
