Temperamental Songtext
von Everything but the Girl

This temperamental side,
The one you say that you can′t hide.
D' you ever see yourself -
The way it looks to someone else?
This temperamental trick,
The one you say you can′t predict.
You're like an empty cup.
Forgive me if I don't wait up.
I don′t get where you′re coming from -
What is real and what's put on,
What has stayed and what has gone.
How long will this thing go on and on?

I don′t want you to love me.
I don't want you to love me.


You′re like an empty cup,
But I can't fill you up.
What planet are you on?
Not the same one I am from.
Do I just waste my time?
You pour your heart on mine.
You say it screws you up.
Forgive me if I don′t wait up.
I don't get what you're trying to say -
What is wrong and what′s okay.
You beat yourself up one more time.
You trample on this fierce heart of mine.

I don′t want you to love me.
I don't want you to love me.

I don′t know what you want from me.
All this endless sympathy.
You beat yourself up one more time.
You trample on this fierce heart of mine.

I don't want you to love me.
I don′t want you to love me.
