lyrics
Infinite Improvement
Lovely, lovely, lovely: if you'll notice
I said it three times-- that means you're
lovelier than anyone
And I know I don't know much, but I know this:
You'd be perfectly just to leave me languishing and all alone
But only stay...But only stay...
I came, I saw, I took you for granted
I turned your romantics into a Herculean chore
Now I feel, I fear you've been disenchanted
You've got one foot keeping time, you've got
the other out the door
But only stay...But only stay...
But only stay, I'll give you ten percent
And that's an infinite improvement
Over nothing
Have pity on a ne'er-do-well
I've knocked on windows
Called on stairwells
No one would let me in
I don't deserve a thing I've been handed
And I've demanded blessing when I should have been accurst
But, Lovely, O, please don't leave me
here stranded
And if I haven't any best maybe you can suppress my worst
And only stay..And only stay..And only stay
And only stay, I'll give you ten percent
And that's an infinite improvement
Over nothing
