Midnight Magnet
Marie Teena Lyrics

Late night interaction on the telephone
We spoke on the phone late at night

You called me up to tell me that you were alone
You called me to inform me that you were single

'Talkin' 'bout the powers that could set you free
You spoke about things that could set you free

I rushed right over with my newfound energy
I came running over with my newfound energy

The knock on the door seemed unfamiliar to you
You didn't know who was knocking

Do I detect a surprise or two
I noticed that you were a little surprised

You said something came up and I would have to go
You informed me that something unexpected had occurred and that I had to leave

I look over your shoulder it's a girl I know
I noticed a girl whom I knew standing behind you

No circumspect
Without caution

I won't forget
I won't forget

No light as yet
There is still no clarity

I'm so upset midnight magnet
I am so upset about the Midnight Magnet

You gave me kisses so unreal
Your kisses felt inauthentic

You blew my mind, so what's the deal
You amazed me, but what is going on?

I'm talkin' 'bout the way I feel
I'm talking about how I feel

River eyes, I crossed the state line nearing down
I crossed the state border, bawling my eyes out

Thinkin' 'bout the times the magnet turned me on
Reflecting on the times that the magnet attracted me

I used to be the beauty, now I am the beast
I used to be beautiful, but now I am unattractive

The comedy of errors took me to the cliffs
A series of mistakes led me to disaster

The pedal to the medal, now my gears won't shift
I pushed too hard and now none of it works

The last thing I remember was my mama's call
I can't recall anything past my mother's call

I woke up three weeks later in the hospital
I woke up in the hospital three weeks later

How can you run from a dream living inside me
How can you leave what lives inside of me

I say I care, it isn't fair, what's gonna be
I tell you I care, but it's not fair. What will happen?

I wanted you to love me, love me, love me
I desired for you to love me

Like I loved you, loved you, loved you, loved you, oh
Just like how I love you

I thought you said you loved me
I believed you when you said you loved me

You were the magnet and I was the steel
You attracted me like a magnet attracts steel

Call it what you want to, but you know it was the magnet
Call it whatever you wish, but you know it was the magnet

Call it what you want to, but you know that it was wrong
Call it whatever you like, but you understand that it was not right

No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

Do do do do
Do do do do

Dumb do do
Dumb do do

Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,

Midnight magnet
