I Bet

Talk to me for hours while you're high

And then on Saturday night

Take the train to her place in the city where all that nice furniture must make her look so pretty

I'm not embarrassing when the lights are out

I'm not embarrassing when your mouth is on my mouth

I'm not embarrassing when we're alone

And I bet you'd even do it if

No one else could know

Talk to me for hours on the phone

Cause you know I know things she doesn't know

Act like she's a piece of modern art

But staring at a painting doesn't make you smart

I'm not embarrassing when the lights are out

I'm not embarrassing when your mouth is on my mouth

I'm not embarrassing when we're alone

And I bet you'd even do it if

No one else could know

She's cold and you know she's cold

Cosmopolitan and mean and unemotional

She'll ignore you at a party if the room is full

Talk to me for hours in your car

I'll keep my seat belt buckled I know we're not going far

It's lonely on the inside I wish somebody had told

That turning seventeen won't make you any older
