Apple Song

I don't even need you
I never tried to cry
I used to ask so many questions, like that famous one: "Why?"
Do you know him?
Does he know you?
Did you do a little hanky-panky off at the San Diego zoo?
Did you see the koalas?
Did you see the tigers and the bears, the wolves, the-
The things you shouldn't see
Did you hold his hand in a park?
Did you go to a movie?
How dare you have someone you cared about before me

It's so right for me to get jealous
'Cause I gotta think of you as a piece of property
I've gotta hold on to you
When I say you're my girl
It really means that I own inside of my mind
She thinks that sexy
She thinks that cool
'Cause love should be based on insecurity, my fools
I know, it's true
And it feels so good to be slightly addicted to someone that you feel you can't learn about
But don't worry now
'Cause there's more a-kissing and a-smooching and a-smooching and a-kissing and a-smooching
And-a maybe just a little bit of fucking

And you gotta do it right
Listen to what they are saying
Their body will respond in time, and kind,
And you will understand or glean
Oh, yes you'll glean
'Cause gleaning is a thing we can do
If we really open up our listening
Oh, yes I feel how lovers like to entwine in the moment
'Cause there's always the discrepancy between the biological lead to procreate, oh
But sometimes it gets confused with the idea, the construct, that society lays upon us oh yeah

You watch a movie, you think it's like that, yeah
You watch a TV show, you think it's like that, yeah
You read a book and you think it's like that
But it hasn't been like that for very long
Because society hasn't developed the technology to place their stories and constructs in the philosophical medium that's entertaining for us to understand
And plus there's so many of us here on this planet
We need a system to organize ourselves in a way that makes us feel like we come from a tradition of cultures

It's so cool, but it's scarier
To get your things in order
And understand that there's no order
We're all improvising
And any make it makes you happy is truly the way that you should survive
Because otherwise you're living under systems that don't match who you are
And you'll be fighting that for all of the rest of your life
Anyways, just be happy
Just do everything with love
And you'll see everything will be-E-A-OK
Just do what you need
Take that time to
Do the in-between, the in, in, in, in, in-between

[Solo 1]

[Bridge]
Don't, don't use those things against another person
Remember every person is an opportunity
To learn more about yourself
'Cause you are listening
To where they're coming from
And they represent a reflection of yourself

As long as you understand
That there's more to this life
There's always so much more to this life

[Solo 2]

Hey, oh, baby
I like the way that you smile at me
It makes me feel so good
It makes me feel like anything's possible (oh yeah)
As long as I don't lie no more
To myself or to others
It feels so much better
'Cause when I was younger I could lie
Let me tell you, I could lie like a motherfucker
And that is good, 'cause you gotta experience the darknesses
The darkness is important to understand inside yourself
It's not always about being good
It's understanding why you're being good in the first place
Oh, empathy's a bitch
Once you feel it you can't get rid of that itch, it's true

[Solo 3]

[Verse 9]
Just remember to all, all, all, all, always love yourself
