Skammentary: The Hippos are SKApril All-Stars on the strength of their first two albums. I feared that SKApril X (2020) might have been the end o' the road for them, but I should have known that a gem like "When Will I Learn?" was still available. Silly rude boy, when will I learn?
"I bought you everything that you asked for,
Everything, but you wanted more,
I guess it wasn't quite enough.
I did everything that you asked me to,
Everything that I could do,
I guess it wasn't quite enough.
"I should have acted like a hopeless pessimist,
'Cause I know that you're a sucker for that type,
And if I told you I was gonna kill myself,
Maybe then you'd comfort me and hold me tight.
"When will I learn?
"I took you every place that you want to go,
Every single place that I know,
I guess it wasn't quite enough.
I told you everything that you want to hear,
I said, 'I love you' in your ear,
I guess it wasn't quite enough.
"I should have acted like a hopeless pessimist,
'Cause I know that you're a sucker for that type,
And if I told you I was gonna kill myself,
Maybe then you'd comfort me and hold me tight.
"No matter what I do,
I'll never be with you,
And if it is that way,
I guess I'll be O.K."
