So here we are babe,
In the aftermath of infidelity
I’ve drawn up the list like you asked.
Yes it’s a long one,
I’m making demand after demand
And I’ll add more before you get to the last.
Let’s settle the score babe,
Just do one more thing for me,
They said trust can be restored like faith.
Jump through hoops for me babe,
I will keep adding more,
Watching you tire in this endless charade.
I need you to only want me
Even though I can’t stand myself
I demand you be loyal to me
While I compare you to someone else
And don’t tell me any white lie
Ignore the Everest I’ve hid from you
Make me the only object of your desire
I promise one day you’ll be mine too.
Here we are babe,
And I will keep making demands
Till you cannot meet them anymore.
And when fatigue gets the best of you babe,
I will blame you for making empty promises.
I will blame you for letting me down again
Like you did when she touched you
Like you did when you called.
I will smile that I was right to build a wall
And I will blame you for making me need proof-
Proof I'm enough.
And then I will tell you to go, babe,
And will I be asking too much
If my final demand is for you to return
Even though I don't want you?
And if you do hang around, babe,
Then will I be asking too much
If my final demand is for you to be certain
Of what I’m certainly not?
