  1. Well, King Midas put his hands on me again

  2. He said one day I'd realize why I don't have any friends

  3. Why I find myself alone at night, unless I'm having sex

  4. But he can make me golden if I just showed some respect

  5. But I don't let him touch me anymore

  6. I said, "I'm not something to butter up and taste when you get bored

  7. 'Cause I have spent too many nights on dirty bathroom floors

  8. To find some peace and quiet right behind a wooden door"

  1. He said, "Please, don't go away"

  2. He said, "Please, don't go away"

  3. I said, "It's too late"

  4. I said, "It's too late"

  5. He said, "Please, don't go away"

  6. He said, "Please, don't go away"

  7. I said, "It's too late"

  8. I said, "It's too late"

  9. And now I can't stop thinking that I can't stop thinking

  10. That I almost gave you everything

  11. And now the whole thing's finished and I can't stop wishing

  12. That I never gave you anything

  13. You wrote a hundred letters just for me

  14. And I find them in my closet in the pockets of my jeans

  15. Now I'm constantly reminded of the time I was nineteen

  16. Every single one's forgotten in a laundromat machine

  17. But I don't let him touch me anymore

  18. I said, "I'm not something to butter up and taste when you get bored

  19. 'Cause I have spent too many nights on dirty bathroom floors

  20. To find some peace and quiet right behind a wooden door"

  21. He said, "Please, don't go away"

  22. He said, "Please, don't go away"

  23. I said, "It's too late"

  24. I said, "It's too late"

  25. He said, "Please, don't go away"

  26. He said, "Please, don't go away"

  27. I said, "It's too late"

  28. I said, "It's too late"

  29. And now I can't stop thinking that I can't stop thinking

  30. That I almost gave you everything

  31. And now the whole thing's finished and I can't stop wishing

  32. That I never gave you anything

  33. And I can't stop thinking that I can't stop thinking

  34. That I almost gave you everything (I said, "It's too late")

  35. And now the whole thing's finished and I can't stop wishing

  36. That I never gave you anything

  37. He said, "Please, don't go away"

  38. He said, "Please, don't go away"

  39. I said, "It's too late"

  40. I said, "It's too late"

  41. He said, "Please, don't go away"

  42. He said, "Please, don't go away"

  43. I said, "It's too late"

  44. I said, "It's too late"

100 Letters

Well, King Midas put his hands on me again

He said one day I'd realize why I don't have any friends

Why I find myself alone at night, unless I'm having sex

But he can make me golden if I just showed some respect

But I don't let him touch me anymore

I said, "I'm not something to butter up and taste when you get bored

'Cause I have spent too many nights on dirty bathroom floors

To find some peace and quiet right behind a wooden door"

He said, "Please, don't go away"

He said, "Please, don't go away"

I said, "It's too late"

I said, "It's too late"

He said, "Please, don't go away"

He said, "Please, don't go away"

I said, "It's too late"

I said, "It's too late"

And now I can't stop thinking that I can't stop thinking

That I almost gave you everything

And now the whole thing's finished and I can't stop wishing

That I never gave you anything

You wrote a hundred letters just for me

And I find them in my closet in the pockets of my jeans

Now I'm constantly reminded of the time I was nineteen

Every single one's forgotten in a laundromat machine

But I don't let him touch me anymore

I said, "I'm not something to butter up and taste when you get bored

'Cause I have spent too many nights on dirty bathroom floors

To find some peace and quiet right behind a wooden door"

He said, "Please, don't go away"

He said, "Please, don't go away"

I said, "It's too late"

I said, "It's too late"

He said, "Please, don't go away"

He said, "Please, don't go away"

I said, "It's too late"

I said, "It's too late"

And now I can't stop thinking that I can't stop thinking

That I almost gave you everything

And now the whole thing's finished and I can't stop wishing

That I never gave you anything

And I can't stop thinking that I can't stop thinking

That I almost gave you everything (I said, "It's too late")

And now the whole thing's finished and I can't stop wishing

That I never gave you anything

He said, "Please, don't go away"

He said, "Please, don't go away"

I said, "It's too late"

I said, "It's too late"

He said, "Please, don't go away"

He said, "Please, don't go away"

I said, "It's too late"

I said, "It's too late"
