[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
She cooks you sweet potato, you dont like aubergine
~#**************#~
She knows to boil the kettle when you hum bars from Grease
~#**************#~
She senses you are lonely but still she cant be sure
~#**************#~
And so she stands and waits, stands anticipating your thoughts
~#**************#~
[Hook 1]
~#**************#~
How can she become the psychic
~#**************#~
That she longs to be to understand you
~#**************#~
How can she become the psychic
~#**************#~
That she longs to be to understand you
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
He brushes thoroughly
~#**************#~
He knows she likes fresh breath
~#**************#~
He rushes to the station
~#**************#~
He waits atop the steps
~#**************#~
Hes brought with him a Mars bar
~#**************#~
She will not buy Nestlé
~#**************#~
And later hell perform
~#**************#~
A love-lorn serenade, a trade
~#**************#~
[Hook 2]
~#**************#~
How can he become the psychic
~#**************#~
That he longs to be to understand you
~#**************#~
How can he become the psychic
~#**************#~
That he longs to be to understand you
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
So give her information to help her fill the holes
~#**************#~
Give an ounce of power so he does not feel controlled
~#**************#~
Help her to acknowledge the pain that you are in
~#**************#~
Give to him a glimpse of that beneath your skin
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Now my inner dialogue is heaving with detest
~#**************#~
I am a martyr and a victim and I need to be caressed
~#**************#~
I hate that you negate me, Im a ghost at beck and call
~#**************#~
Im fading and placating, berate myself for staying
~#**************#~
Im a fool
~#**************#~
Im a fool
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
He greets the stranger meekly, a thing that she accepts
~#**************#~
She sees him waiting often with chocolate on the steps
~#**************#~
He senses she is lonely shes glad they finally met
~#**************#~
They take each others hands walk into the sunset
~#**************#~
Do you like sweet potato?
