say, now listen here
i wanna be oh so clear
i lost myself
lost i'll stay
between your prayers and my belief
and here i am, frail
frail and bedazzled from all the glare

tug at my sleeve
my little girl, sweet marie
she don't know that i have
stole my smile from a cheshire cat
and all i wanted was to be a man
since i've gave up
i feel free
i feel free
i feel free
i feel free

two of us less dangerous
it's all inside our heads
givin' in for nothin' less
leavin' me for you

try to understand
the ones i love and their demands
it's so unfair when they can't see
that i'm the boy who really needs
their love, i suppose

frail and bedazzled from all the
frail and bedazzled from all the

i can't believe i spent 7 years singing it wrong when all i had to do was listen to the 2/28/95 version of it more closely.

I still say it's "super maid". He does change things up live sometimes.

I think it's "two of us, that's dangerous."

really? did you listen to the studio version? it's pretty clear that it's "sweet marie"

..Er..I say it's "less dangerous"..and stop putting things in my head!!!

plus, don't forget the guy who originally came up with "my little girl, supermaid" also put "she don't know that i am still a slob from a trash yard can"

SUPER MAID is such a stupid lyric that I'm gonna go with Sweet Marie. Go RP

Anyways, I thought it was more like

say, now listen here
i wanna be oh so clear/make myself clear (probably the first)
i lost myself
lost i'll stay

ah! so i am not crazy, i never bought that he said "super maid".

I've always heard it as "two of us less dangerous". I never understood why anybody wrote it as "that's dangerous"...

As for the "sweet marie" thing, I like it. I never thought of that.

I always used to sing this as "talk in my sleep"

I think it's "leaving me for him". But that's probably too straightforward for a b0lly lyric.

aw crap... i heard "two of us, that's dangerous" as "you are lots less dangerous". but i never bought it... yeah

i was under the impression it was super man...
then again...
i never really paid close attention to these lyrics

frail and bedazzled from all the glam?

:confused:

and yeah leaving me for him.

I've always heard it as less dangerous....

and I thought "sweet marie" was "sweet beliefs" :o. Doesn't make all that much sense I guess but...you know...my little girl (has) sweet beliefs or something. I like it my way better, hehe. Bummer.

Okay I've just been listening to it again, and I've decided it's not possible to tell. I'm sticking with "super maid" and "that's dangerous" just because I like them better.

Too many mustered lines, as they say.
