Thank Me Later

When I broke your heart and had no regrets One more kiss fore I smoke myself blind As you suffer the dawn of my being reborn Not your Christian, God-loving kind Any chance of remorse faded out in the night As you write in someone else's tongue Falling for the man-made words but for the right reasons The battle already won It don't seem right It's not good behaviour But you can thank me now, or you can thank me later She was sketching the sky with a glint in her eye Said that I was more man than I was She invited me over, a pale-bodied poser Believing the hype just because I was focused enough and I got my reward As my gaze became fixed on your skin Too much dignity, not enough light Plus I didn't know where to begin And it don't seem right It's not good behaviour But you can thank me now, or you can thank me later Another sad tale, another set back Thought that I fell in love from afar I saw the opposite moves in an innocent groove And a smile I took home in my car Cheek to cheek as they say, only lasted a day The canvas too easy to scratch Said enough to ease the blow, take away your glow Then jumped ship into true love like that It don't seem right It's not good behaviour But you can thank me now, or you can thank me later Here's to all those mistakes that came good in the end How we suffer to manage sometimes Many tears to regret, many moons to forget Though they hardly equate to real crimes I'm a loser at heart, complicated to boot Not the sink but the whole fucking kitchen So what if we lose it or sing out of tune At this time I'm sure no-one is listening It don't seem right It's not good behaviour But you can thank me now, or you can thank me later --- Thank Me Later - William The Conqueror
