we can't live in a beautiful world

"...I saw you this morning
I thought that you might like to know

I received your message in full a few days ago
I understood every word that it said

And now that I've actually heard it
You're going to regret

And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what you want me to

You're not the kind that needs to tell me
About the birds and the bees..."
