Did That

Lisa Loeb


My forehead's splitting, I can feel a separation. 
And me, here, full of life, waiting for that magic conversation. 
That's why I thought that you should see her. 
She'll tell our future. 
Don't believe her. 
Did you ask about love and forever 
or did you ask her for her number. 
I didn't go to the psychic myself 
cause she didn't even know that I was 
out of town 
when I called 
out of town 
when I called. 
I did that sitting on the bedroom floor. 
Carpeted hallway, sitting on the bedroom floor. 
I did that. 
I did that. 
I did that. 
I did that. 
I used to win at cakewalks on a Sunday afternoon, 
stop on Lucky 11. 
We'd bring the cake home, in the back seat, in the station wagon. 
Such a strange prize. 
I did that sitting on a bedroom floor. 
Carpeted hallways, sitting on a bedroom floor. 
I did that. 
I did that. 
I did that. 
I did that. 
I smile, I show my teeth. 
I smile, I show my teeth. 
I make space. 
I make space. 
I lay back. 
I lay back. 
We were empty tonight. 
We talked about the television. 
Only I was talking, only I was talking. 
Is this a future disaster? -Full of omens? 
I don't believe in fate. 
We talk about about a bad sign. 
I think about a cut off date. 
So I memorized your kiss 
I memorized your lips 
I memorized your kiss 
I memorized your lips. 
I did that, 
sitting on a bedroom floor. 
Carpeted hallways, sitting on a bedroom floor. 
I did that. 
Sitting on a bedroom floor. 
Carpeted hallways, sitting on a bedroom floor. 
Are you my cake? 
Is this my fate? 
What a strange prize 
I want to taste. 
I did that.
