lyrics

You come to me talking real fast
Just like you were a skipping record
And I should've been much more upfront about my track record
What's more, I never thought that I could play the home-wrecker
Guess I truly thought that you could be my Michael Brecker

Well me for you and you for me,
And that's the way it was
And it was great--until we no longer felt the buzz
We stacked our hearts so high
Our love, a double-decker
I want a love of steel
But you can't be my Bekaert

I wanted you to be
Somebody that you're not
I wanted to be
Somebody that I'm not

You come to me talking real fast, just like you were a skipping record
You said that I had lied: you were my fact-checker
Not barring my omission of how my past is checkered
You can't be my Michael Brecker

I thought I was safe with you
You were my hallowed ground
But I can only hide my true feelings when you're around
Darling please understand, my altered track record
The only one I've loved is just a boy named Michael Brecker

Oh--you can't be my Michael Brecker

Darling when you say you hate me
It can really irritate me
All this crying and berating me--it's really irritating
Never meant to shut you out
I guess I should just shut my mouth
I never meant to seem like lying
Darling, shut it--please quit crying
