[Verse 1]
I could've settled down in Paris
But the man who came for me
Took me by the hand
And said it was time to leave

[Pre-Chorus]
Margaret Atwood, she could not stop him
Virginia Woolf, she could not stop him
The truth is I wanted to go
He is all I know, he is all I know
He is all I know, he is all I know

[Verse 2]
I got back home from Paris
And he told me what I'd done was wrong
And though his speech was rather long
I listened like an obedient child

[Verse 3]
The light was coming in through the windows
It was a most familiar type of night
How I loved every streetlight
And I wanted him to kiss me

[Pre-Chorus]
Margaret Atwood, she could not stop me
Virginia Woolf, she could not stop me
The truth is I wanted to go
He is all I know, he is all I know
He is all I know, he is all I know
[Chorus x2]
Sweet, sweet forever
I'll comfort myself in my next life
Sweet, sweet, sweet forever
I'll comfort myself in my next life

[Verse 4]
He told me that he couldn't live without me
And I told him the same thing too
And though we knew it wasn't true
We both knew it wasn't a lie

[Verse 5]
The light was coming in through the window
It was a most familiar type of night
How I loved every streetlight
And I wanted him to kiss me

[Pre-Chorus]
Margaret Atwood, she could not stop me
Virginia Woolf, she could not stop me
The truth is I wanted to go
It is all I know, it is all I know
It is all I know, it is all I know

[Chorus x2]
Sweet, sweet forever
I'll comfort myself in my next life
Sweet, sweet, sweet forever
I'll comfort myself in my next life
