Leftovers

Leftovers - Jarvis Cocker

I met her in the museum of paleontology

And I make no bones about it

I said if you wish to study dinosaurs

I know a specimen whose interest is undoubted

Trapped in a body that is failing me

Well please allow me to be succinct

I wanna love you whilst we both still have flesh upon our bones

Before we both become extinct

That's what I told her: I wanna be your lover

And then I told her twice: I wanna be your lover

Well he says that he loves you like a sister

Well I guess I guess that's relative

He says that he wants to make love to you

Well instead of "to" shouldn't that be "with"

Oh I told you once: I wanna be your lover

And now I've told you twice: I wanna be your lover

And so I come to you filled with guilt and self-loathing

And I am praying that you could make me good

And so I fall upon your neck just like a vampire

Yeah like a vampire who faints at the sight of blood

And I told you once: I wanna be your lover

I'm gonna say it again

And then I told you twice: I wanna be your lover

Well this is my CV and I've got no one else to blame

So I will state state my case I will state it again

Come and help yourself to leftovers

Got a little surplus love and affection

And getting cuddly so won't you cuddle me

I could be your teddy bear oh yeah

I know I ain't no eligible bachelor

This is no mouthwatering proposition

Make no mistake you're in big trouble little lady

If we start a-hugging and a-kissing

And a-kissing are you listening

'Cause I told you once

And then I told you twice

And now I told you three times

And at the risk of repeating myself

I'm gonna say it again

Yeah

I wanna be your lover

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I wanna be your lover

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I wanna be your lover

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I wanna be your lover

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I wanna be your lover
