I Am An Emotional Idiot lyrics

(From Love Is A Dog From Hell)

I’m an Emotional Idiot

so get away from me.

I mean,

COME HERE.

Wait, no,

that’s too close,

give me some space

it’s a big country,

there’s plenty of room,

don’t sit so close to me.

Hey, where are you?

I haven’t seen you in days.

Whadya, having an affair?

Who is she?

Come on,

aren’t I enough for you?

God,

You’re so cold.

I never know what you’re thinking.

You’re not very affectionate.

I mean,

you’re clinging to me,

DON’T TOUCH ME,

what am I, your fucking cat?

Don’t rub me like that.

Don’t you have anything better to do

than sit there fawning over me?

Don’t you have any interests?

Hobbies?

Sailing Fly fishing

Archeology?

There’s an archeology expedition leaving tomorrow

why don’t you go?

I’ll loan you the money,

my money is your money.

my life is your life

my soul is yours

without you I’m nothing.

Move in with me

we’ll get a studio apartment together, save on rent,

well, wait, I mean, a one bedroom,

so we don’t get in each other’s hair or anything

or, well,

maybe a two bedroom

I’ll have my own bedroom,

it’s nothing personal

I just need to be alone sometimes,

you do understand,

don’t you?

Hey, why are you acting distant?

Where you goin’,

was it something I said?

What...

What did I do?

I’m an emotional idiot

so get away from me

I mean,

MARRY ME.
