Just like a person having sex feels cared for

They wanna be loved, so they have sex together

And they feel loved about that

I want it and I dream about it and I think about it and want it

Just like a girl wants sex with a boy, you know?

That's the way I'll always be, probably

This mop is tearing off a little, it's loose

Well, so far, the mop ain't streaking, oh, there's streaking

See what I mean about this dumb mop? It streaks

Come on, mop, quit streaking, mop, mop

I don't mind mopping floors, but when my mop streaks, I don't like it

It ain't me, it's the mop

I told my boss to get some new mops

We get rag mops

Not stupid old, dumb old sponge mop

Dumb mop, there, the floor looks beautiful

And two weeks before she can see her psychiatrist

So Wednesday at 9?

Although she disturbed no one today, the manager told her to leave again

Don't you ever do it again or I'll sue you


[Mike]

I don't want to tell the whole world that I'm mentally ill

Or that I'm crazy

I wanna go out in the world and I want to show them that I can go out in the world and not act crazy

And I can still fantasize, but keep it to myself, keep it to myself, keep it to myself

[Nancy, Mike & Narrator]

I think I deserve to be loved, don't you? Very much so

I think I deserve to be loved

Keep it to myself, keep it to myself

I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?

To be loved, don't you?

But keep it to myself, keep it to myself, keep it to myself

And I can still fantasize, but keep it to myself, keep it to myself, keep it to myself

I think I deserve to be loved, don't you? Very much so

Do you ever think that you actually would kill yourself?

Well, I have thought of it real, uh, real deep

Yes, I believe I would
