THE ONE YOU REALLY LOVE
(Stephin Merritt)

I do believe our love's in danger
I might as well be loving air
You look at me like I'm a stranger
You look at me like I'm not there

CHO: I gaze into
Your eyes of blue
But their beauty
Is not for me
You're thinking on
Someone who's gone
You're dreaming of
The one you really love

I made you mine, or so it seemed
Though he is dead he haunts your dreams
I might as well be two feet tall
You never will love me at all. CHO.

You're dreaming of
The corpse you really love.

[Recorded by Magnetic Fields on "69 Love Songs," 1999.]
