The Law of Diminishing Returns

The scent of sex lingers in the air
After you're gone, but you don't care
'Cause you're here, then you disappear,
You've gone away
I find your bra underneath my bed
It reminds me of something that you said
When you were here, but you disappeared,
You went away.
I scrap some quarters just to buy some food,
I don't have the money to be into you,
I can just barely afford to pay my way.
If I had money we would fall in love,
But I don't got money, so we settle for lust
And nothing I can say can convince you to stay.
I understand that I am poor
So I am asking for nothing more than you
For an hour or two.
The scent of sex lingers in the air
I have my fingers tangled in your hair
'Cause you're here, but you'll disappear,
You'll go away.
I saw you talking to some other guy
And I understand it's just a matter of time
And it's clear, that you'll disappear
You'll go away.
I scrap some quarters just to buy some food,
I don't have the money to be into you,
I can just barely afford to pay my way.
If I had money we would fall in love,
But I don't got money, so we settle for lust
And nothing I can say can convince you to stay.
I understand that I am poor
So I am asking for nothing more than you
For an hour or two.
Oh my God,
What I wouldn't give
For a shot
Just to live with you.
I understand that I am poor
So I am asking for nothing more than you
For an hour or two.
The scent of sex lingers in the air
And the scent reminds me that life ain't fair
'Cause you were here, but you disappeared,
You went away.
