[Pretenders - I Didn't Know When to Stop lyrics]
Abstract cubist and specialist view
A delicate line, a bolt shone a blind
Once the brush hit's the canvas
There's no turnin' back
I didn't know when the paint would dry
Kept goin' back for another try
I start at the bottom, I dig at the top
I didn't know when to stop
I didn't know when to
I think I captured you in spite as I was
But, you couldn't see it but only because
My first attempt, stay with doubt
I grab my coat
Find the door and make my way out
I didn't know when the paint would dry
Kept goin' back for another try
I start at the bottom, I dig at the top
I didn't know when to stop
I didn't know when to
Well you see a fraud and no one else knows
A catwalk phenomenon, the emperor's clothes
A faithful likeness but something ain't right
I painted over you in cadmium blue light
I didn't know when the paint would dry
Kept goin' back for another try
I start at the bottom, I dig at the top
I didn't know when to stop
I start at the bottom, I dig at the top
I didn't know when to stop
I didn't know when to
