The Green Pajamas

I Just Wish That She'd Love Me

Well I guess I'm a fool 'cause she's as stubborn as a mule
No matter what I do, it's always in vain
I could send her flowers, spend the most wonderful hours
Or call on unearthly powers but it'd all be the same

But I'd love her tenderly, and I'd love her endlessly
I just wish so desperately that she'd love me

On a night like this I could try to steel a kiss
And show her what she's missed but it'd all be the same
Sometimes I try, of course, but she just shoos me off her porch
And carrying this torch doesn't ease the pain

I'd love her tenderly, and I'd love her endlessly
I just wish so desperately that she'd love me

Sometimes a case of beer and a pack of cigarettes
Is the only friend a lonely man can have
But sometimes getting drunk can be dangerous
'Cause it makes me feel so sad

Well I guess I'm just a fool 'cause she's stubborn as a mule
No matter what I do, it's always in vain

I'd love her tenderly, and I'd love her endlessly
I just wish so desperately that she'd love me
That she'd love me
