Names And Dates And Times — текст песни (Ani Difranco)

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
