One of these days I'm going to stop caring
What other people do to me
I'll take my heart off the sleeve where I'm wearing it
And hide it someplace I can't see
One of these days I'm going to start coping
Deflate my wishes like a big balloon
And one of these days I'm going to stop hoping
And I hope that day comes soon
I guess I shouldn't have thought
About the things that I got
Or what I was going to have
In that respect
I kind of stuck out my neck
Now I feel like a giraffe
One of these days I'm going to stop wishing
That you're going to come back to me
And one of these days I'm going to stop kissing
Places where your lips used to be
I'll take my head out of the microwave oven
Another minute and it would have burst
One of these days I'm going to stop loving you
Unless you start loving me first
I guess I shouldn't have been glad
About the things that I had
Or what I was going to get
I thought I had dealt
With all the feelings I felt
But I haven't stopped feeling them yet
