lyrics

I will wait for you
though it's dark here and it's been awhile
since I saw any light
or smelled the morning air
or sat around the cave just thinking petty thoughts

you've got the sweetest smile
you've got the cutest eyes
you've got your choice
of various and sundry guys
just as suited, maybe better, to be there by your side

What am I? What am I?
I can't define the way I feel
I'm not enough, I'm not enough
for your unlimited appeal
and maybe one day you'll wake up
and find you really love me
and maybe I won't have to transform

I can disappear
I can set myself on fire
I can wipe away the me
if that's what you'd prefer
I'll do it, believe me, I've done it all before

If you could look inside
past the mask and past the pretense
past this blob of pink
past these hollow eyes
there's a question: can anybody love me as I am?

What am I? What am I?
I can't define the way I feel
I'm not enough, I'm not enough
for your unlimited appeal
and maybe one day you'll wake up
and find you really love me
and maybe I won't have to transform

In my mind, I've made you mine
and life is beautiful
and everybody hates our guts
but they're just jealous
it's super-effective!
one-hit knock-out!

What am I? What am I?
I can't define the way I feel
I'm not enough, I'm not enough
for your unlimited appeal
and maybe one day you'll wake up
and find you really love me
and maybe I won't have to transform
maybe I won't have to transform
someday I won't have to transform
tell me I won't have to transform
