he treats you like a hired hand
but you smile and flutter and always hold his hand
i just can't understand
maybe he's better on the inside
maybe he's better on the inside

he treats you like a leper dog
but you bleat about how happily in love you are with him
i just don't understand
maybe he's better on the inside
maybe he's better on the inside

i don't want to date you, i just want you to see
you could have the universe on top of your christmas tree
just give yourself away from him
and give yourself to someone who will shoot the moon
with a golden harpoon and give it all to you
you deserve it all for you
but there's nothing i can do

he makes you wait and ignores you
but you never stop telling us how much he means to you
i just won't understand
maybe he's better on the inside
maybe he's better on the inside
i hope he's better on the inside
