Stupid Present

Your face, got all bunched up

I could sense the tension in the air,

You're pretty good at pretending

but there's no way of fooling me

You said, how it was perfect

I tried to believe your claim,

I knew what you wanted

was a receipt for an exchange

I tried, please forgive me!

For the stupid present that I gave you...

I knew, what you wanted

How could I have been so stupid?

What was I thinking when I picked it off the shelf?

If I could, (if you could!) only try again

But I suppose that it's too late, next year

is so far away you know you can't wait till then

I tried, please forgive me! For the stupid present

that I gave you...

I had good intentions had I only paid attention

to the request you made the other night

What was I thinking I must have been drinking

when I picked it off the shelf?

I tried, please forgive me!

For the stupid present that I gave you...
