Good Thing He Can't Read My Mind

I am at the opera, I don't like the opera

But he loves the opera and I love him

I follow the libretto, I follow the conductor

When I follow the plot, my head begins to spin

I don't understand a word even when it's English

Everyone around me says this is divine

I don't like the opera, but look I'm at the opera

It's a good thing he can't read my mind

(Yes, he's a wonderful Parsifal)

(And she's the best Tundra I've ever seen)

Look at me I'm skiing when I do not like skiing

But he loves skiing and I love him

I rent the boots and poles, I shiver in the cold

I'm charging down the mountain risking life and limb

There's no exhilaration I am only feeling terrified

Everyone around me's having such a great time

I do not like skiing, but look at me I'm skiing

It's a good thing he can't read my mind

(Yes, exhilarating is just the very word I was thinking of)

(Scared of heights? Oh no, not me)

I am not complaining, I'm just making observations

Expanding your horizons is a sign of maturation

Now I tolerate cigars 'cause he's a smoker

I'm playing chess though I confess sometimes I long for poker

I am eating sushi when I do not like sushi

But he loves sushi and I love him

I'm poking with a chopstick at a living breathing fish stick

Oh my god, I think it's trying to swim!

Some say eating sushi is like chewing on your own cheek

Or sucking down a bucketful of tentacled slime

I do not like sushi, but look I'm eating sushi

It's a good thing he can't read my mind

(Yes, this is a very interesting texture)

(What is it? Oh)

So if you see me in the sushi bar, see me in the mezzanine (See me sushi)

See me on a ski slope looking scared (I'm scared)

Don't feel sorry, I must be in love (Don't feel sorry)

Why in the hell else would I be there? (Why be there?)

Before I met him life was dull

I never took any chances, now I leap at every opportunity I find

I do not like sushi

I do not like skiing or the opera

Maybe I will in time

Maybe I will in time

(Seconds? Sure I'd love some. Mmm, yum!)
