Manchester Orchestra - Slow To Learn Lyrics

She's in the corner dealing the cards
She looks around and 'round
And slowly puts her poker face on

She's such a tease, a tease
It's just about the one thing she knows
The only way to get
The certain thing she already owns

You know she always gets them somehow
By the way that she moves
It's how she's reaching the goal
The goal is finally scored

But she is never alone
She looks again at her watch
Watch her as she will pretend
That she is harmless and nice
[Unverified]

You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her, no, no
You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her, no, no

She's baffled but she swears she's secure
The insecurity has gone
And gotten the best of her
The best has yet to come

We know just how the story will end
We know about the drinks, the smokes
And half an hour boyfriends

You think they really love you
Loving in this case is the cure
The cure is never really present
When you're speaking with her
It's really getting to her [unverified]

And are you missing the note?
The note is C flat, but G sharp
She's sharper but she don't blow
She's sinking to the bottom

You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her, no, no
You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her, no, no

Staring at a form that bleeds
This scene is dark and dreary
Tears are overflowing to me
Me of the ordinary girl

But she always knew that she was
She wasn't ordinary
Special was the meaning of course
How they would describe her

[Unverified]
The end is coming closer
Looking and she's ready to go
Let's go take lots of pictures

Maybe some would sell in the end
Turn into something
That will end up being quite [unverified]
My god, does no one love you?

You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her
You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her
Oh, oh

You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her
You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her
