[Verse 1]
He’s given me things you never would have
And if you did you’d want them back
Forgiven me things I didn’t know that
I had done but just faded to black
He’s given me time and consolation
Some verses to read and lines to say
I will stay here for a while now
He calls me child now but it works that way
[Verse 2]
He’s given me things you couldn’t guess at
I don’t mean jewels, although they were fine
A way to depart, one way to enter
A right to dismiss upon a whim
When I close the door and you’re supposing
I kick up my heels and then I scream
“Why was I chosen?”
You’ll never know what I give to him
[Bridge]
He’s given me things you never thought of
Because they were not yours to give
So take this pill and tranquilize
And roll your eyes at the husbands, not the customers’ wives
He’s given me things you never would have
And if you did you’d want them back
Forgiven me things I didn’t know that
I had done but just faded to black
He’s given me time and consolation
Some verses to read and lines to say
I will stay here for a while now
He calls me child now but it works that way
[Verse 2]
He’s given me things you couldn’t guess at
I don’t mean jewels, although they were fine
A way to depart, one way to enter
A right to dismiss upon a whim
When I close the door and you’re supposing
I kick up my heels and then I scream
“Why was I chosen?”
You’ll never know what I give to him
[Bridge]
He’s given me things you never thought of
Because they were not yours to give
So take this pill and tranquilize
And roll your eyes at the husbands, not the customers’ wives
