Lyrics transcribed from the booklet included with the "My Maudlin Career" CD. Parts in brackets were erronesouly left out of the booklet lyrics despite obviously being a part of the song. Parts enclosed in parentheses are in the booklet lyrics despite not actually being in the recorded version. Sans the bracketed and parenthetical parts, everything else from the booklet checks out to my ears.
How many times have you told me you want to die?
How many times have you told me
Now that you've tried?
[And] how many times will I let you get away with murder?
[And] how many times will you make me feel more alive?
[Hey] I've got a feeling there is something going wrong
I'll put my thoughts in a letter;
(I'll) Send it when I'm feeling strong
Ain't it time you became the girl
That you wanted to be?
I told you all along there was no point [in] looking to me
It's been hard to be strong with all of this going on
(Oh) [Yeah] it's [been] hard to be strong with all of this going on
I have been lonely too like you
I'm just like you
I'm just like you
People have been traveling miles just to hear us sing
It's a February night [and] I don't want to feel anything
To get away maybe I could sell kisses
In Portland I tried my pretty hand at fishing
It's been hard to be strong with all of this going on
(Oh and) [Yeah] it's [been] hard to be strong with all of this going on
I have been lonely too like you
I'm just like you
I'm just like you
[I'm just like you]
Am I just like you?
[Hey I've got a feeling there is something going wrong
I'll put my thoughts in a letter;
Send it when I'm feeling strong]
