I don't want to hold you

And feel so helpless

I don't want to smell you

And lose my senses

And smile in slow motion

With eyes in love I twist like a corkscrew

The sweetness rising

I drink from the bottle weeping

Why won't you last?

Why can't you last? So I will walk without care

Beat my snare

Look like a man who means business

Go to all the poshest places

With their familiar faces

Terminate all signs of weakness Oh, all for the sake

All for the sake

Of a foolish love I will take my coffee black, never snack

Hang with the wolves who are sheepish

Flow through the veins of town, always frown

For me and my mistress, the princess Oh, all for the sake

All for the sake

Of a foolish love, yeah yeah So the day Noah's ark floats down park

My eyes will be simply glazed over

Or better yet, I'll wear shades on sunless days

And when the sun's out I'll stay in and slumber Oh, all for the sake

All for the sake

Of a foolish love For the sake

All for the sake

Of a foolish love 'Cause I don't want to hold you

And feel so helpless

I don't want to smell you

And lose my senses

And smile in slow motion

With eyes in love
