"I NEED MY SPACE"

Love was everlasting for a little while
But the needy boyfriend thing is so out of style
Now it's been three semesters and two summer vacations
I've put up without surprises or stimulation
And I'm wondering about a trial separation
I didn't want to say it to your face...
But baby, I think I need my space.
Swayze, I need some space.

I'm happy for you, man, I hope that you go far (very far)
Maybe we can keep in touch when you're a star
But all this talking makes me want to walk away
"Just checking in" or saying "Hi" or what you ate today
I'm going way over my minutes but I've got nothing to say-e-yay
I used to long for your caveman embrace
Nowadays I'd rather have my space.

What a lucky girl I am to have a boyfriend in a band
Who fights with me then goes and flirts with ho's in miniskirts! Yes it hurts!
You are so in love with your music, maybe you should marry it
But don't blame yourself 'cause we both know it's not you—it's me!

I'm getting older and I want to try new things
I've got to see if space is out there like it is in my dreams
I need some psychedelic band to blow my mind to smithereens
I want to step into the vacuum and SCREAM!

I know that something splendid's waiting beyond the sky
And I'll be damned if I will let this feeling pass me by
It's junior year and I have only been with one guy!
There's so much to do and there's no time to waste
But to do it all I'm going to need my space
Baby, I really need my space
I'm sorry, Swayze, but I'm leaving you for space.
