Do-be-do-be-do-do-do (oh)
Do-be-do-be-do-do-do (oh)

I used to be a lunatic from the gracious days
I used to feel woebegone and so restless nights
My aching heart would bleed for you to see
Oh, but now (I don't find myself bouncing home)
(Whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry)
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting outside the words
(The lover speaks about the monsters)
I used to have demons in my room at night
Desire, despair, desire, so many monsters
Oh, but now (I don't find myself bouncing around)
(Whistling my conscience to make me cry)
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me in silence
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting outside the words
They were being really crazy
But they will only come
And you know what, mommy?
Everyone was being really crazy
The monsters are crazy
There are monsters outside
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me in silence
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting outside the word
Outside the word
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting outside the word
Do-be-do-be-do-do-do (oh)
Outside the word
Do-be-do-be-do-do-do (oh)
Do-be-do-be-do-do-do (oh)
