Everything Reminds Me Of My Therapist
Everything reminds me of my therapist
My checkbook reminds me of my therapist
Kleenex reminds me of my therapist
People yawning remind me of my therapist
And you remind me of my therapist, but you don’t cost a thing

People nodding reminds me of my therapist, specially when I’m rambling on and on not making a whole lot of sense about things that are totally unrelated but she seems to make sense out of them
Clocks and watches remind me of my therapist the way her eyes dart back and forth between me and the time
Pillows remind me of my therapist specially when I beat them up
Empty chairs remind me of my therapist, specially when I talk to them
And you remind me of my therapist, but you don’t cost a thing

Sometimes when I am in the chair and she begins to stare I wonder if she likes me or not
But I know if I asked her, she would turn it around and say "why is it important for you to know?"
I’d say "I really don’t know why I want to know it’s just something I was wondering about."
But the real question is the one that I can’t ask her:
"If you weren’t my therapist - would you be my friend?
Or do you have to like me 'cause I pay you?"

Laughter reminds me of my therapist
My childhood reminds me of my therapist
My therapist reminds me of my childhood - thanks a lot
My dog reminds me of my therapist the way she cocks her head and listens without any judgments at all
Do I remind you of a therapist?
Why do I remind you of a therapist?
I hear you saying that I remind you of a therapist
Is it my calm demeanor that reminds you of a therapist?
Unanswered questions remind me of my therapist
If you remind me of my therapist, we’ll probably get along
