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
