  • Settle down, head against the window
    Counting hours by the handful
    Of plastic bottle shots
    Coming home, sleeping in my own bed
    Waking up to the silence
    I'm no good at this at all

    I need a good distraction
    Honey if you could come by
    And hold me like you want me
    Like that would make me happy
    Like that would take the pain away
    If only for a while
    And maybe in the morning
    Leave without a warning
    Just a note on the pillowcase that
    Says "I never wanted more"
    Cuddle up, wrap your arms around me
    Don't lace it up with sympathy
    It's just easy if you're sleeping
    Soon enough I'll be leaving here tomorrow
    And all the pain and the sorrow
    Makes it easier to go

    I need a good distraction
    Honey if you could come by
    And hold me like you want me
    Like that would make me happy
    Like that would take the pain away
    If only for a while
    And maybe in the morning
    Leave without a warning
    Just a note on the pillowcase that
    Says "I never wanted more"

    Oh, heartbreaker, name taker, ladies man
    Oh, heartbreaker, name taker
    Heartbreaker, ladies man, oh Writer/s: ELLIE GREENWICH, JEFF BARRY, PHILLIP SPECTOR
