You give him head in the basement You laugh at his jokes, stomach aching Fake when you come, taking a pill He leaves when it's done You forgive when he doesn't get home Tell your friends you don't really mind being alone You are the one who can change him Satiate him I'm a giver, he says, "Me too" He is hungry for someone, but doesn't know who I'm a giver, or am I a fool? He forgets the words, so I teach him to say, "I love you" He turns around when you're naked Says "We should be friends" while you're changing You nod half-dressed, he says, "It's for the best" And, "You know, you're really not like the rest" So we part our lips for the taking Well, if these lips could open, they'd scream "I wanna love you like I'm raining Like I don't need saving" But I'm a giver and he's immune He is hungry for someone, but doesn't know who I'm a giver, he's the moon And I reach and I reach and I forgive the girl who loved you Are you hungry for me, baby? Are you hungry? Are you hungry for me, baby? Are you hungry? Are you hungry for me, baby? Are you hungry? Are you hungry for me, baby? Are you hungry?
