In Love
By Fear of Pop
Written by Ben Folds

William Shatner: (Spoken)
I remember
The night we met
That night we sat
Intwined
Under summer skies
I looked into your eyes
and you looked into mine
You said you're not like the rest
And I nodded
No one understands me you said
And I nodded once again
As if to agree that all men are indeed the same
Somehow
You said
I was different.  

For months on end 
I maintained a venire of sincere interest
As if I was listening
As you relived every page
Of self help and new age you had read
And I went in for the kill
I'd read the same books
I learned to aid the motions
Of a sensitive human being
And we were oh so happy
But you found things to fix
And I knew it was time 
to move on.

In Love
In Love  

So now you have me completely figured out
You feel sorry for me
I can't express my feelings
I can't tell the truth
We are all alike
At puberty i was sworn to secrecy
By the international brotherhood
Of lying ficle males
I can't tell you anything
And I can't commit
You're right
I can't commit
To you

I will always treasure our time together
I don't feel enough of anything
To harbor the kind of disdain
That you'll maintain
You painted me into what
You wanted to see
That's fine
But you will never know me

Ben Folds: (Sung softly under Shatner speaking)
Only in your holly
Crimson feet of godly
Beautiful and lonley
My baby
The only one

Who really understands me
Floated hand in hand, we
Whisper in the moonlight
And say that I'm
The things you want to see

(?) and a starchild
Godess of the moonlight
Hold me in the morning
And tell me I'm
The only one alive

Who really understands you
Tell me pretty stories
Say you understand me
My baby
The things you want to see
That I could never be

In Love
In Love

Hold me in the morning
Tell me pretty stories
Say that you're the only one
My baby
But I could never be

In Love
In Love

Only in your holly
Crimson feet of godly
Beautiful and lonley
My baby
The only one
