After all the pleading It's the best thing, really She won't go It's the best thing, really Everything will seem quiet for a time A normal girl with a normal frame of mind Then there she is, a-stompin' her feet She’s screaming that her soul is incomplete Now After all the pleading It's the best thing, really She won't go She won't - Never will - Isn't gonna go a- She won't - Never will - Isn't gonna go a- She won't - Never will - Isn't gonna go Away There was talk of letting her die Sweet little devil Poor little thing It couldn't work with her gone We've been without parents for too long Now here's a kid who knows what she needs She wants a kiss for every place she bleeds Now After all the pleading It's the best thing, really She won't go I've asked her politely but She won't - Never will - Isn't gonna go away She won't - Never will - Isn't gonna go away She won't go anywhere anytime soon Who's gonna keep your full moon blue Who's gonna keep your full moon blue I tried to show her the way to have her say She'd rather brood or throw tantrums in my brain I think I'd better grow accustomed to her I guess we'll always be the bigger Me and little Her Now After all the pleading It's the best thing, really She won't go I've asked her politely but She won't - Never will - Isn't going to go away Is this the best thing really? After all the pleading It's the best thing, really She won't go It's the best thing, really She won't - Never will - Isn't going to go away
