When you tried to kiss me
I only bit your tongue
When you tried to get me together
I only come undone
When you tried to tell me
The one for me was you
I was in your mattress
Back in 1982

Daria
I won't be soothed
Daria
I won't be soothed over
Like smoothed over
Like milk,
Silk,
A bedspread or a quilt
Icing on a cake
Or a serene translucent lake
Daria
Daria
Daria
I won't be soothed
I won't be soothed

When you tried to tell me
Of all the loves you had
I was cleaning oil from beaches
Seeing only what was bad
When you tried to feed me
I only shut my mouth
Food got on your apron
And you told me to get out

Daria
I won't be soothed
Daria
I won't be soothed over
Like smoothed over
Like milk,
Silk,
A bedspread or a quilt
Icing on a cake
Or a serene translucent lake
Daria
Daria
Daria
Daria
Daria
Daria
I won't be soothed
I won't be soothed
