Little Hands Lyrics - Duncan Sheik - Duncan Sheik

Some sweet perversion on the telephone line 

I've been waiting for such a very long time 

For her to be free 

The evening was nice but there were too many people 

And all my thoughts, so depraved and evil 

Oh Lord, what would she say? 

She says, "Well, I'm afraid, it's not to be 

You're a sweet guy but you ain't for me 

I live my life in a different way 

You know those things you're thinking are a big mistake" 

We stayed out late 'til morning came 

I said, "I'll take you home if it's all the same" 

Her indifference fills the room 

Some weak seduction on the morning after 

How it slays me every time I touch her 

But she just wants to sleep 

She says, "How long 'til you understand 

The last thing that I need is another man 

Didn't you promise to give it a rest? 

Right now I need a lover like a hole, like a hole in the chest" 

Oh well, can't blame a guy for tryin' 

And I'm smiling even though I'm dying 

To know the love she says will never be 

One last conversation at the crowded bar 

And even though the music is louder by far 

I hear every word she says 

She says, "Don't take it bad, don't worry about it 

You're friend of mine and there's no way around it 

Sometimes you get there early, sometimes you get there late 

But even if you had a chance you never, never knew the game" 

Little hands, open smile, I'm glad we got to talk for a while 

I feel okay, yeah I'm feeling better, I'll let it go but I'll never say never 

It's okay, yeah it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
