Introspective (B) Song Lyrics
Introspective (B) by Sparks [Henry:]
So, I said it: I killed my wife
I didn't mean to... God knows I didn't mean to
She woke up, so beautiful
She looked at me and smiled... That smile
She is... was, a very shy person you see... and I know
I knew this shy smile meant she wanted to f**k
But this time, I pretended not to get it
And I kept on pretending and so she said it
Ever so shyly: "Please, Henry, f**k me, Henry..."
And I could see the effort in her smile... for her to ask that... to say those dirty words... to be wicked and bold... so out of character
That very shy smile I loved so much... But I couldn't answer
I couldn't meet her desire
'Cause yes, being in love makes me sick... sick!
I'd been sleepless all night, you see, suffocating, suffocated by love... a wreck... absolutely no desire left
[Woman in audience:]
Come on Henry, drop it, please!
[Henry:]
What? Am I letting you know more than you care to know about me?
[Woman in audience:]
Uh-huh
[Henry:]
About her? Sex? Death?
