Lyrics
You got some kind of looking glass logic
It’s got me all wrapped up inside
I can’t understand all your contradictions
I think your words are somewhere you like to hide
But I won’t go there, I won’t do that
This ain’t no wonderland
If you love me, just say you love me
It’s a thought that my heart can understand
You’d like to call me your little Humpty-Dumpty
You’d like to make me your precious dormouse
You’d like to take me right through the looking glass
But I don’t plan to let you back in the house
‘Cause I won’t go there, I won’t do that
This ain’t no wonderland
If you love me, just say you love me
It’s a thought that my heart can understand
I think we’ve both had too much illegal substance
The things we say make very little sense
But I don’t care if our love’s an oxymoron
Giving in to me is your only defense
‘Cause I won’t go there, I won’t do that
This ain’t no wonderland
If you love me, just say you love me
It’s a thought that my heart can understand
