Aimee Mann Ray
Ray, as of today I can't say Things will ever be the same And that could be a shame 'Cause, though I think I know Another lonely exile when I see one And you appear to be one Still ? I'm playing down 'cause I could really be found If you've got it to spare I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel 'Cause I ought to be there And Ray, what can I say You don't know me And it's just wishful thinking To keep myself from sinking And hence no evidence To support any theory I have handy That you could understand me And so ? I'm playing down 'cause I could really be found If you've got it to spare I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel 'Cause I ought to be there 'Cause you're as bad off as me And Ray, can we repay Ourselves for days that we've lost Through indecision With one of recognition If so, then here I go 'Cause some things you know And some you just believe in And hope it comes even Oh ? I'm playing down 'cause I could really be found If you've got it to spare I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel 'Cause I ought to be there I ought to be there I ought to be there
