Matthew's Song

-written by Jeremy Gloff 

-appears on Below The Velvet (1996)




THE LYRICS:

Matthew wants me to write him a song
I told him that he’s never broke my heart
And then I realize that I am jealous of him
He’s got all the prizes I could never win.

Matthew’s got a love to call when he gets home
He’s got someone to refill him when he feels alone
He’s got someone to throw a punch at when he’s mad
He’s got everything I always wish that I had

Matthew wants me to write him a song
I told him that he’s never done me wrong
I think I like it too much when he’s touching me
He’s found someone who fits him perfectly

So here is your little song
I obsess too much
I think he thinks that it’s wrong
Well listen up
You’re the lucky boy
Cause you found someone
And you’re not their little toy

You never roll over to the empty side of the bed
You don’t have someone playing cat’s cradle
With your head
You’re the shiny apple in the perfect pair
Unlike these 21 years of playing solitaire
Yeah, 21 years of solitaire.
