good thing he can't read my mind - christine lavin lyrics

[verse 1]
i am at the opera
i don’t like the opera
but he loves the opera
and i love him
i follow the libretto
i follow the conductor
when i follow the plot
my head begins to spin
i don’t understand a word
even when it’s english
everyone around me says
this is divine

[chorus]
i don’t like the opera
but look i’m at the opera
it’s a good thing
he can’t read my mind

(yes, he’s a wonderful parsifal
and she’s the best tundra i’ve ever seen)

[verse 1]
look at me i’m skiing
when i do not like skiing
but he loves skiing
and i love him
i rent the boots and poles
i shiver in the cold
i’m charging down the mountain
risking life and limb
there’s no exhilaration
i am only feeling terrified
everyone around me’s having
such a great time

[chorus]
i do not like skiing
but look at me i’m skiing
it’s a good thing
he can’t read my mind

(yes, exhilarating is just the very word
i was thinking of… scared of heights?
oh no, not me)

i am not complaining
i’m just making observations
expanding your horizons
is a sign of maturation
now i tolerate cigars
cause he’s a smoker
i’m playing chess
though i confess
sometimes i long for poker

[verse 3]
i am eating sushi
when i do not like sushi
but he loves sushi
and i love him
i’m poking with a chopstick
at a living breathing fish stick
oh my god!
i think it’s trying to swim
some say eating sushi
is like chewing on your own cheek
or sucking down a bucketful
of tentacled slime

[chorus]
i do not like sushi
but look i’m eating sushi
it’s a good thing
he can’t read my mind

(yes, this is a very interesting texture
what is it? ohhhhh….)

[verse 4]
so if you see me in the sushi bar
see me in the mezzanine
see me on a ski slope
looking scared
hey don’t feel sorry for me
i must be in love
why in the h-ll else
would i be there?
before i met him life was dull
i never took any chances
now i leap at every opportunity i find

[chorus]
i do not like sushi
i do not like skiing or the opera
maybe i will in time
maybe i will in time

(seconds? sure i’d love some
mmmmmmm, yum!)
