You look like... a perfect fit,
For a girl in need... of a tourniquet.
But can you save me?
Come on and save me...
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone.
'Cause I can tell... you know what it's like.
A long farewell... of the hunger strike.
But can you save me?
Come on and save me...
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone.
You struck me dumb, Like radium
Like Peter Pan, or Superman,
You have come... to save me.
Come on and save me...
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
But the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone.
Come on and save me...
Why don't you save me?
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who could never love anyone.

| iTuner | Posted: Nov 15, 2012 - 22:35 Aimee Mann really can't do much wrong in my book. I still remember her starting out with Til Tuesday. |
| lemmoth (NYC) | Posted: Aug 13, 2012 - 13:32 Yes. Aimee is loved in Brooklyn, my home town. |
| gillespp (Portland, OR) | Posted: Aug 13, 2012 - 13:29 I like the studio version quite a bit more than this one. |
| MiracleDrug (Earth) | Posted: Aug 13, 2012 - 13:28 yeah lets face it... 10 and I still would... |

I feel bad, I know I should love them but I reach for the tuner when they come on. I'd be happy with just about any other band/singer covering their songs... This is awful to my ears.. |
| MirageRF (Clemmons, NC, USA) | Posted: Jun 11, 2012 - 11:10 What a unique voice. So sensual and effortless. Love you, Aimee! ![]() |

| annoffalese (Eastern Pennsylvania) | Posted: Mar 08, 2012 - 06:17 Oh Bill! Why do you play soooooo much Aimee Mann? |
| rdo (DC) | Posted: Jan 26, 2012 - 14:57 I feel like this song is beating me into submission. 8. |

| ozzie1313 | Posted: Oct 23, 2011 - 13:11 Affective lyrics and music that rivets one to reality is not a bummer. Why do too many only like the vacuous stuff that never challenges and only helps us to stick are heads in the proverbial sand. |

| 4merdj (donde el viento se devuelve) | Posted: Apr 11, 2011 - 14:51 Requires of the proper ambiance to be enjoyed fully ... it does sound emotion-less at times ... maybe she was suffering of scenic fear at the time ... oh well, what the heck do I know about performing anyway! ![]() |

It belongs to a moment in time which is gone. And there's that weird solo in the middle where they start by playing the Carpenters' "Superstar" melody and then veer off. What? |
| bokey (This ain’t no place for the weary kind) | Posted: Jan 13, 2011 - 04:30 I'm beyond suspicion. |

| nicolewe | Posted: Dec 12, 2010 - 17:23 Mannly Mann...a great song that endures. |
| vandal (arriving somewhere, but not here. . .) | Posted: Oct 20, 2010 - 08:14 Relatively emotionless, apathetic at best, this self-centered whining drivel has finally bottomed out for me. Oddly enough, I rated this a 7 for awhile, but now I can only give it a 1. . . |
| oenyaw | Posted: Oct 20, 2010 - 08:13 Love this woman. Even 'Til Tuesday. |
| newwavegurly | Posted: Oct 20, 2010 - 08:11 I hate how much this song speaks to me when I hear it—despite really loving the song itself. |

| Netto (Khimki, Russia) | Posted: Aug 07, 2010 - 10:21 Thanks to RP from this song began my acquaintance with Aimee Mann.

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Aug 01, 2010 - 13:35 I love Aimee Mann solo, and I also love her work with 'Til Tuesday. She had a lot of industry obstacles to overcome, but I'm glad she's still performing. Her music always inspires me to try to be creative and eloquent. Sometimes, I even succeed... ![]() |

| Businessgypsy (Deepest, Darkest Florida) | Posted: Apr 12, 2010 - 06:41 Technically excellent singers may be found at the local high school, church choir and subway stations. Soul baring singer-songwriters? A bit more rare, but still common. Soul touching singer songwriters? Pretty hard to find - but there's one here, in my book. |
| Carl (The Summit City) | Posted: Jan 07, 2010 - 16:24 After reading the latest comments about this being draggy, I listened to the studio recording and guess what ... it's practically the same tempo! But somehow, due to the instrumentation or something, the studio version seems more "upbeat." Something like that. To me, anyway. BTW, I still really like it. |
| jagdriver (Just a tad south of Paradise) | Posted: Jan 07, 2010 - 16:17 I like Aimee 'n all, but I am getting tired of this track. I'm not at the MUTE stage yet, but I wish we'd hear some other songs from her catalog. |
