"Darling, I've Done This Dance Before" lyrics

I left my goodbye note
In your copy of Infinite Jest
'Cos I know you'll never read it
Don't think you're dead inside
But when I lay my head on your chest
I don't hear anything beating

And your favorite word is stay
But you didn't want me anyway
I'm your insignificant other
'Cos the second I got free
You suddenly had the time for me
'Cos I got that man free shine on me

Darling, I've done this dance before
If you can't have it, then you want it even more
Now you're crying
Oh, but it's making me laugh
The ones that make your skin crawl
Always come crawling back

You missed my birthday party
And blamed it on your parents' divorce
That happened when you turned 24

What's a nice way to say
"Get your car off my driveway"?
I've got the exorcist coming over
'Cos the second I got free
You suddenly started haunting me
'Cos I got that man free blonde on me

Darling, I've done this dance before
If you can't have it, then you want it even more
Now you're crying
Oh, but it's making me laugh
The ones that make your skin crawl
Always come crawling back

You said, "Boys like us
Like girls like you"
Said, "Boys like us
Like girls like you"

As the mirror ball spins
I dance alone again
As the mirror ball spins
I dance alone again
And that's fine

Darling, I've done this dance before
If you can't have it, then you want it even more
Now you're crying
Oh, but it's making me laugh
The ones that make your skin crawl
Always come crawling back

Oh, they come crawling
Oh, they come crawling back
As the mirror ball spins, I dance alone again
Oh, they come crawling
Oh, they come crawling back
