He's not insane
It's just that everybody

cause she's feeling so abused.

but it's so hard to refuse.

So you take her to the pictures,
trying to become a fixture.
Inch by inch trying to reach her,
all the way through the second feature.
Worrying about your physical fitness,
tell me how you got this sickness?
