I want you to know that I'm happy for you
|
I wish nothing but the best for you both
|
An older version of me
|
Is she perverted like me
|
Would she go down on you in a theater
|
Does she speak eloquently
|
And would she have your baby
|
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
|
|
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
|
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
|
And every time you speak her name
|
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
|
Until you died, 'til you died
|
But you're still alive
|
|
And I'm here to remind you
|
Of the mess you left when you went away
|
It's not fair to deny me
|
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
|
You, you, you oughta know
|
|
You seem very well, things look peaceful
|
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
|
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
|
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
|
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
|
Are you thinking of me when you F*** her
|
|
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
|
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
|
And every time you speak her name
|
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
|
Until you died, 'til you died
|
But you're still alive
|
|
And I'm here to remind you
|
Of the mess you left when you went away
|
It's not fair to deny me
|
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
|
You, you, you oughta know
|
|
'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
|
And I'm not gonna fade
|
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
|
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
|
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it
|
And I'm here to remind you
|
Of the mess you left when you went away
|
It's not fair to deny me
|
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
|
You, you, you oughta know
|
|
|
(break)
|
|
I went to your house
|
I walked up the stairs
|
I opened your door without ringing the bell
|
I walked down the hall
|
Into your room
|
Where I could smell you, and
|
I shouldn't be here
|
without permission
|
I shouldn't be here
|
Would you forgive me love
|
If I danced in your shower
|
Would you forgive me love
|
If I laid in your bed
|
Would you forgive me love
|
If I stayed all afternoon
|
I took off my clothes
|
Put on your robe
|
I went through your drawers, and
|
I found your cologne
|
Went down to the den
|
Found your CDs, and
|
I played your JOANIE and
|
I shouldn't stay long
|
You might be home soon
|
I shouldnt stay long
|
Would you forgive me love
|
If I danced in your shower
|
Would you forgive me love
|
If I laid in your bed
|
Would you forgive me love
|
If I stayed all afternoon
|
I burned your incense, and
|
I ran a bath
|
I noticed a letter
|
That sat on your desk
|
It said
|
"Hello love, I love you so,love
|
Meet me at midnight",and no
|
It wasn't my writing
|
I better go soon
|
It wasn't my writting
|
So forgive me love
|
If I cry in your shower
|
So forgive me love
|
For the salt in your bed
|
So forgive me love
|
If I cry all afternoon
|
