[Verse 1]
I had a dream where you told me
Your girlfriend's having trouble with spelling
And you once thought her intellect was raw
But now you're thinkin' maybe it's not

[Chorus]
Bukowski bores me
Salinger makes me smile
And you adore me
'Cause I know all the words you like

[Post-Chorus]
I sit across from you and I beg
For you to tell me again and again
About how her wit is not quite as refined as mine, as mine

[Verse 2]
Then I throw the martini glass across the room
It's just what I wanted but it feels untrue
And you look back so disappointed
You thought I knew better than to throw a fit

[Chorus]
Bukowski borеs me
Salinger makes mе smile
And other things I say
When I wanna be worth your while
[Post-Chorus]
I wake up and the woman in me
Wishes I didn't say those things

[Chorus]
But I always loved
When men tell me
I'm smarter than
They thought I'd be
