"Tommy" lyrics

"Tommy"

I'm a party in the village you make fun of with your friends
But you show up time and time and time again
I'm the drink that you keep filling and spilling on your hands
You can clean it up like nothing happened

Plastic trophies lined up on the shelf
Here's to hoping they were something else

You keep the lights down low
Keepin' your eyes closed
But it won't change the feel of my body
When you say my name
It don't hold the weight
Like it does when you talk about Tommy

Touch my body like I'm Tommy
Touch my body, pretend I'm Tommy

There was a guy at the casino
He was convinced we were just friends
You said that he was flirting
I couldn't see it then

There was the time you wore the jacket
I asked if it was new
You tried to lie and hide
Who gave it to you

Dust the trophies lined up on the shelf
Hard to know me when you see someone else

You keep the lights down low
Keepin' your eyes closed
But it won't change the feel of my body
When you say my name
It don't hold the weight
Like it does when you talk about Tommy

Touch my body like I'm Tommy
Touch my body, pretend I'm Tommy

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

You keep the lights down low (lights down low)
Keepin' your eyes closed
But it won't change the feel of my body
When you say my name (say my name)
It don't hold the weight
Like it does when you talk about Tommy

Touch my body (body) like I'm Tommy (Tommy)
Touch my body (body), pretend I'm Tommy
