You're No Vincent Gallo

We met smoking cigarettes
This is what she said to me
She said "you're no Vincent Gallo
but we could still get close, I suppose"

Lately, I've been greatly touched by just this kind
Bitten, I was smitten, neatly written off

But I'm naïve enough to believe that love is an easy beat
I've never seen a rhythm like this that falls clean off the sheet
She thinks that he is so mysterious just 'cause he's in film
Just when I think we're alone, here he is, takin' away the thrill

I thought I could cross her
Vermillion border
But I tried, she rebuked me,
She goes "that's right out of order"

But I'm naïve enough to believe that love is an easy beat
I've never seen a rhythm like this that falls clean off the sheet
She thinks that he is so mysterious just 'cause he's in film
Just when I think we're alone, here he is, takin' away the thrill

We split, cigarettes still lit
And this is how I let her go
I said "baby, you're no Betty Mabry
so it could never last"
