Asking, permission denied
To self medicate this way once in a while
Aren't you afraid of everything
Your love so you can't appreciate anything
Down on the sofa with a record running
Baby I can't help letting you down
Letting you down
Letting you down
Got your rejection, denied, crying
Coming apart right here before your eye
You aren't disappointed, are you now?
I'm still listening, just tell me what you want
I won't feel a thing, just tell me what you want
Leaving you alone wasn't my decision
Baby it's not easy letting you down
Letting you down
Letting you down
To self medicate this way once in a while
Aren't you afraid of everything
Your love so you can't appreciate anything
Down on the sofa with a record running
Baby I can't help letting you down
Letting you down
Letting you down
Coming apart right here before your eye
You aren't disappointed, are you now?
I'm still listening, just tell me what you want
I won't feel a thing, just tell me what you want
Leaving you alone wasn't my decision
Baby it's not easy letting you down
Letting you down
Letting you down

this is a great song does anyone know what comes after your love so???
i thought maybe it might be your love is reasoning?That maybe totally off but I just can't figure it out.Help please.
I processed the hell out of this song to figure out the lyrics.
I think the line is "Your love, so what's it mean?"
Also, to be picky, the word "it" appears after "Baby, I can't help."
That's my attempt at it. I'm open to other interpretations.
"Got your rejection, denied" sounds to me like "Got your attention, didn't I". If that's right, the first line would be "Asked your permission, didn't I?"
I also hear "But you're afraid of everything" and "Dead on the sofa".
I definitely agree with your interps here is the whole thing as I hear it:

shit
shit
"asked your" not asking
"asked your" not asking
I mostly agree with NewMoon.
However, I'm not convinced that "Your love's the missing link," is right. I've listened to it a few times, paying close attention to that line, and I can't hear the "k" that goes long with "link". In my opinion, it seems like he's saying "Your love's listening,".
It could be:
"asked your permission, DIDN'T I..."
"...BUT you're afraid of everything your love ISN'T REASONING (not sure), you can't appreciate anything..."
"Got your rejection, DIDN'T I crying, coming apart right here before your HEART (not sure, but it would rhyme with apart and he pronounces the H)..."
This is what I keep hearing: (this song is really informal so it's hard to understad at times) Asked you permission didn't I? To self medicate this way once in a while But you're afraid of everything Your love (still listening? / 's listening.) You can't appreciate anything. Dead on the sofa with the record running Baby I can't help it, letting you down Letting you down Letting you down
