lyrics

I remember you well in the conference hotel
You were talking ‘bout Ernie and me
Giving me head on the unmade bed
As the lines disappeared from our suite

I remember that first morning of the nights of no sleep
As we sat on the bench,
smoked last cigarettes
You said “it’s fair to confess I wasn’t your best,
But please, let me repeat”

Right from the start, you never asked for my heart
Just if you had permission to flirt
you claim to avoid ambiguous ploys
But I never once heard you say

I need you, I don’t need you
I need you, I don’t need you
And all of that jiving around

I remember you well in the conference hotel
I thought I was just getting even
With some other boy I loved as more than a toy
who went up and crazy, no reason

As I walk towards the plane, repeating your name
I can still feel your lips on my mouth
I remember you well in the conference hotel
And now I don’t think that I’ll live without

I need you, I don’t need you
I need you, I don’t need you
And all of that jiving around

I remember you well in the conference hotel
You were talking ‘bout Ernie and me
Giving me head on the unmade bed
As the lines disappeared from our suite
