Names And Dates And Times Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Names And Dates And Times Lyrics

    I know so many white people
    I mean, where do I start?
    the trouble with white people
    is you can't tell them apart
    I'm so bad with names and dates and times
    but I'm big on faces
    that is, except for mine

    I believe you when you tell me
    we've met before
    this time you've got my interest
    this time you've got the floor
    why don't you go and tell me something
    I don't already know
    give me something to remember you by
    when you go

    I eat too much
    I laugh too long
    maybe I'll like too much of you
    when I'm gone

    let's go over to the window
    and sit in the neon light
    let's go out walking
    you know, it's garbage night
    let's go down to the east river
    and throw something in
    something we can't live without
    and then let's start again

    the more you talk
    the more I get
    the sense of something
    that hasn't happened yet
    the more you talk
    the more I want to know
    the way I'll remember you
    when I go

    I eat too much
    I laugh too long
    maybe I'll like too much of you
    when I'm gone

    I am so many white people
    I mean where do I start
    they've got lots of personalities
    I just can't tell them apart
    and I never remember anything
    except for those things
    which I never forget you know
    there's no in between

    I'm big on your face
    yeah it's big in my mind
    you're like the rest of the human race
    you're one of a kind
