Lyrics Manchester Orchestra

Slow to Learn

She's in the corner dealing the cards

She looks around a round

And slowly puts her poker face on

She's such a tease, a tease

Is just about the one thing she knows

The only way to get the certain thing she already owns

You know she always gets him

Somehow by the way that she moves

Is how she's reaching the goal

The goal is finally scored scored

But she is never alone

She looks again at her watch

Watch her as she will pretend

That she is harmless and nice

...

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her no, no

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her no, no

She's baffled but she swears she's secure

The insecurity has gone and gotten the best of her

The best is yet to come

We know just how this story will end

We know about the drinks, the smokes, and half-an-hour boyfriends

You think they really love you.

Loving in this case is the cure,

The cure is never really present when you're speaking with her

It's really getting to wrong and I am missing the note

The note is C flat not G sharp

She's sharp and yet she don't know

She's sinking to the bottom

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her no, no

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her no, no

Staring at a form that bleeds

This scene is dark and dreary

Tears are overflowing the mea-

ning of the ordinary

Girl that she once knew that she was

She wasn't ordinary,

Special was the meaning of course

How they would describe her

Tells the boys that this is the end

The end is come closer

Look now she is ready to go

Let's go take lots of pictures

Maybe time will tell in the end

The end is something that will

End up being quiet permanent

My god, does no one love you?

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her

Oh, oh

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her

You're slow to learn

That you can't win, win, her.
