Does He Love You

Does He Love You?
Rilo Kiley
Get a real job, keep the wind to your back
And the sun on your face
All the immediate unknowns are better
Than knowing this tired and lonely fate

Does he love you?
Does he love you?
Will he hold your tiny face in his hands?

I guess its spring; I didnt know
Its always seventy-five with no melting snow
A married man, he visits me
I received his letters in the mail twice a week

And I think he loves me
And when he leaves her
Hes coming out to California

I guess it all worked out
Theres a ring on your finger
And the babys due out
You share a place by the park
And run a shop for antiques downtown

And he loves you, yeah, he loves you
And the two of you will soon become three
And he loves you, even though
You used to say you were flawed if you werent free

Lets not forget ourselves, good friend
You and I were almost dead
And youre better off for leaving
Yeah, youre better off for leaving

Late at night, I get the phone
Youre at the shop sobbing, all alone
Your confession is coming out
You only married him, you felt your time was running out

But now you love him and your baby
At last you are complete
But hes distant and you found him
On the phone, pleading, saying
'Baby, I love you, and Ill leave her
And Im coming out to California'

Lets not forget ourselves, good friend
I am flawed if Im not free
And yourhusband will never leave you
He will never leave you for me
