You don’t know me like you want to
You just know me as a friend
You’ve been singing Frank Sinatra
I’ve been screaming Charlie Pen
I hope you write a song about it
I’ll help you find the melody
Cause you don’t know me
Like you want to, darlin'
It’s better off this way you see
I hung my hat above the doorway
Sank down deep into my chair
Cool skin upon cool leather
Felt crisp as autumns air
I know not if I will arise
To meet this moonlit sky tonight
You might be dancing on your own darling
No sense in trying to be polite
You don’t know me like you want to
You just know me as a friend
You’ve been singing Frank Sinatra
I’ve been screaming Charlie Pen
I hope you write a song about it
I’ll help you find the melody
Cause you don’t know me
Like you want to, darlin'
Plenty fine with me
What strange impression did you get
That I had a life to bet
I lost it long ago, to a game in Chicago
I live amongst my debt
So please don’t try to wear me down
Please don’t try to lore me in
You’ll just end up loosing bait darling
I'm a monster born of sin
You don’t love me like you want to
You just love me as a friend
You’ve been screaming Frank Sinatra
I’ve been whistling Charlie Pen
I know you’ll write a song about it
I know you’ll find the melody
'Cause you don’t love me
Like you want to, darlin'
Plenty fine with me
'Cause you don’t love me
Like you want to, darlin'
It’s better off this way you see
