I found you before you found me
But never ever, ever never
Did our soft souls meet
‘Twas desire, our glands,
Our oven mitt hands,
fumbling, bumbling, stumbling:
there, there, and
there
there, there, and
there
Fella
those nights
those nights
those nights
Fella
And then the shenanigans began
That strange vacation
When I walked in and out but back again
Caught your commonplace sin
The couch and cushion
Kissin’, pushin’, kissin’
I called you a dollar
You called me a whore
Are our lives so much better than they were
Than they were
Those days before?
Fella
When the wallets you wore
Were hooked by a chain
And you never even bothered
To ask my real name
You let your beard grow
Like all your friends did
We called you unique
Like the tattoos your long sleeves hid
Fella, you ain’t got no call
Fella, there ain’t no grace in your fall
Fella
Maybe it’s time we break and call this quits
I’ll spend half my lifetime recovering from the feel of your zits
On my tits
Itty bitty bits
Betrayals and tricks
Ah crap!
Give me a kiss
On my sour, sour lips
My sour, sour lips
Fella
