  • Oh Mario, sit here by the window
    Stay here till we reach Idaho
    And when we go, hold my hand on take off
    Tell me what I already know
    That we can't talk about it
    No, we can't talk about it

    [Chorus]
    Because nobody knows that's how I nearly fell
    Trading clothes and ringing Pavlov's bell
    History shows there's not a chance in hell

    But, oh, Mario, we're only to Ohio
    It's kind of getting harder to breath
    I won't let it show, I'm all about denial
    But can't deny all that need belief
    That we could talk about it
    But we can't talk about it

    [Chorus]

    Oh Mario, why if this is nothing
    I'm finding it so hard to dismiss
    If you're what I need then only you can save me
    So come on baby give me the fix
    And let's just talk about it
    I've got to talk about it

    [Chorus]

    That's how I nearly fell
    By ringing Pavlov's bell
    So baby show and tell

    Oh Mario, Mario Writer/s: Aimee Mann
