[Verse 1]

When you tried to kiss me, I only bit your tongue

When you tried to get me together, I only came undone

When you tried to tell me the one for me was you

I was in your mattress back in 1982

[Chorus]

Daria, I won't be soothed

Daria, yeah, I won't be soothed over like smoothed over

Like milk, silk, a bedspread or a quilt

Icing on a cake, or a serene translucent lake

Daria, Daria, yeah

Daria, I won't be soothed, I won't be soothed

[Verse 2]

When you tried to tell me of all the love you had

I was cleaning oil from beaches, seeing only what was bad

When you tried to feed me, I only shut my mouth

Food got on your apron and you told me to get out

[Chorus]

Daria, I won't be soothed

Daria, yeah, I won't soothed over like smoothed over

Like milk, silk, a bedspread or a quilt

Icing on a cake, or a serene translucent lake

Daria, Daria

Daria, Daria, yeah

Daria, yeah, Daria, yeah

Daria, I won't be soothed, I won't be soothed
