She fed me strawberries

And freezer-burned ice cream

I said "Goodbye, I guess"

She lifted up her dress

And so I must confess

We made out one more

A book-and-record love

We sat and read our books

Between those longing looks

Compounded by our fear

My tongue inside her ear

My tongue inside her
