You gave me a pet name | |
Which is not to say I like it | |
We met at a party | |
Not to say I was invited | |
You said love was just a lie | |
But I could tell that you were lying | |
And we almost figured out how we'd get along | |
And given time we'd find it strange to be alone and | |
You work in a hotel | |
At the magazine concession | |
Back in just five minutes | |
Reads the sign above your station | |
Slip your profits in a bag | |
And you're looking up to the hour hand | |
And we almost figured out how we'll get along | |
And given time we'll find it strange to be alone and | |
You just forgot your one pet name for me | |
And all those promises you said you'd keep | |
And it's a lucky thing | |
Because that sentimental stuff | |
Doesn't suit you | |
At all | |
Waiting at the bus stop | |
For just about an hour | |
Strategies for hangman | |
Cat's cradle, origami | |
You say I'm OK for a guy | |
But I can tell that you are lying | |
And we've almost figured out how we'll get along | |
And given time we'll find it strange to be alone and | |
You just forgot your one pet name for me | |
And all those promises you said you'd keep | |
And it's a lucky thing | |
Because that sentimental stuff | |
Doesn't | |
You just forgot your one pet name for me | |
And all those promises you said you'd keep | |
And it's a lucky thing | |
Because that sentimental stuff | |
Doesn't suit you | |
At all |
