[Verse 1]
Needed new posters, so I bought 'em
I know the cost of stamps now
The thirty-first is when I pay the phone bill
I told them I didn't even know anybody in Toronto

Everyday at seven I've been watching Walter
I've been reading more and looking up the hard words
I met people who get me on the guest list
My parents said that they would help me
Pay for grad school

You know I, I never washed this sweater
I never knew when my hair was too long
I got the cab calls out of the Hi-Fi
I learned a lot since you've been gone
I've done a lot since you've been gone

[Chorus]
Not bitter - beat a vicious cycle
Typecast as the model couple
I'm sorry but I don't feel awful
It wasn't the end of the world
I'm sorry I can't be helpless
It wasn't the end of the world
