Here we are, quiet at your kitchen table
With courtesy to little pet peeves
Napkins on laps and strands pulled back
I hang the scarf and my mom's anorak

Why do I tell you how I feel?
When you're just lookin' down my blouse
It's somethin' I wouldn't say out loud, but
If touch could make them hear, then touch me now
If touch could make them hear, then touch me now

Talkin' to some who laugh and others scorned
I guess humor could help me after all
It's funny now I'm just useless and a whore
But I get a cosign from your favorite one-man show

Why do I tell you how I feel?
When you're too busy lookin' down my blouse
It's somethin' I wouldn't say out loud, but
If touch could make them hear, then touch me now
If touch could make them hear, then touch me now
If touch could make them hear, then touch me now
