Snowman

It isn't even winter and I'm freezing, freezing
And this sort of feeling isn't pleasing
And what I want to know, man
Why, oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?

She's been building me up quite steadily
Seems like I've been here years and years and years and years
I wait patiently, froze in history,
All ice-water is tears and tears and tears and tears

She treats me far too frosty,
This hanging on has cost me dear.
It isn't even winter and I'm shivering, shivering
Waiting for the love that's not delivering
What I want to know, man
Why, oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?

It seems you would say I was too soft-hearted,
If you made a dunce-cap I'd don it!
People will always be tempted to wipe their feet
on anything with "welcome" written on it.

It isn't even winter and I'm freezing, freezing,
And this sort of feeling isn't pleasing and
What I want to know, man
Why, oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?

Standard junk goes here. I'm in no way officially related to XTC or anything remotely connected to them. I'm just a fan - like you, assuming you're a fan too... But anything that's not © someone/something to do with XTC is © 2001-2002 by me (Jen Maher-Bontrager) and I reserve all rights to that stuff. If you want to reuse something that's mine, please ask me first.
