when you tried to kiss me
i only bit your tongue.
when you tried to get me together
i only came 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 love 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,
daria, i won't be soothed.
i won't be soothed.
