I gave you pictures and cards on non-holidays
 
 And it wasn't because I was bored
 
 I followed you from room to room with no attention
 
 And it wasn't because I was bored
 
  
  It was because I was loving you so much
 
 It's the only reason I gave my time to you
 
 And that's it, that's the kick in you giving up
 
 'Cause you know you won't like it when there's nothing to do
  
 
 Check out that rack of his, look at that row of guitar necks
 
 Lined up like eager fillies, outstretched like legs of Rockettes
 
 They don't know what they are in for and they don't care, but I do
 
 I thought you would wail on me like you wail on them, but it was just a coochie-coo-coups
  
 
 And meanwhile I'm loving you so much
 
 It's the only reason I gave my time to you
 
 And that's it, that's the kick in you giving up
 
 'Cause you know you won't like it when there's nothing to do
  
 
 Meanwhile I'm loving you so much
 
 That's the only reason that I gave my time to you
 
 And that's it, that's the kick in you giving up
 
 'Cause you know you don't like it when there's nothing to do
  
 
 And I've been used so many times
 
 I've learned to use myself in kind
 
 I try to drum, I try to write
 
 I can't do either well but
 
 Oh well, that's fine, I guess
 
 'Cause I know how to spend my time
  
 
 (I know how to spend my time)
 
 (I know how to spend my time)
 
 (I know how to spend my time, oh)
 
 (Try to drum, I try to write, oh)
 
 (Meanwhile I'm loving you so much)
 
 (Meanwhile I'm loving you so much)
 
 (Meanwhile I'm loving you so much)
