    Just like a person having sex feels cared for...
    We want to be loved, so we have sex together...
    And they feel loved about that...
    And this is the way it makes me feel...loved...
    I want it, I dream about it, I think about it, I want it...

    In two weeks, before she could see herself not dressed...
    The twenty-third of may...you know she disturbed no one today...
    The manager told her to completely forget...
    If you ever go to bed, I'll kill you...
    Do I tell the whole world that I'm mentally ill?
    Go to the papers...yeah, why not?
    Drum roll...
    I want to show them that I can walk on my own without hands of theirs...
    And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself...
    Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
    I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?
    Very much so...
    Think I deserve to be loved...
    Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
    I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?
    ...to be loved, don't you?
    But I keep it to myself...
    Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
    I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?
    And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself...
    Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
    I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?
    Very much so...
    Do you ever think that you would actually, really kill yourself?
    Well, if I have thought about it real, uhh, real deep...
    Yes, I believe I would...
    I have thought about it real, uhh, real deep...
    Yes, I believe I would...
    And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself...
    Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
    ...that I can walk without hands of theirs...
    And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself...
    Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
    I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?
    ...that I can walk without hands of theirs...
    And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself...
    Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
    I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?
    Very much so...
    Do you ever think that you actually would kill yourself?
    Well, if I have thought about it real, uhh, real deep...
    Yes, I believe I would... Writer/s: EDDIE VEDDER, JACK IRONS, JEFF AMENT, MIKE MCCREADY, STONE GOSSARD

  • Joshua from Usathis song is so weird
  • Victor Eduardo Rodrigues Santos from ItabiraIt seems to talk about rape
  • Christopher from Atlanta, GeorgiaI love this song. Slightly distorted, cacophony of sound that gradually floods your brain, and builds to a finale where the heroine contemplates and ultimately acknowledges she would end her life.

    The song fascinated me, I’ve listened to it countless time, and still love it just as much.
  • Bill from Pierce , IdI never thought much of this song until I listened to it while reading along with the printed lyrics to it, then it actually took on a more cohesive flow that made it much more listenable.
  • Brendan from Altamont, NyThis song is also known as "Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me". My least favorite song by Pearl Jam but still interesting.
