I hope I'm not taboo in your house

Hope I'm not something you're scared to talk about

Hope I'm not your mom, or your nic addiction

Hope I'm not money or sex or religion

Hope that our love's not a wreck you ignore on the news

Fine, I hope I'm a little taboo

If I'm a hard conversation

At least I'm still on your tongue

If I only come up when you're faded

At least you're sorry when you're drunk

They all look at you, yeah, nobody moves

If my name gets dropped while you're still in the room

What can you do, I'm not easy to lose

Still a little taboo

A little taboo

I hope I'm not taboo with your friends

Hope I don't haunt silences where your sentences end

Hope I'm not a ghost you never acknowledge

Hope I'm not what you said to Emma in college

Hope that our love's not the end of a very short fuse

Fine, I hope I'm a little

If I'm a hard conversation

At least I'm still on your tongue

If I only come up when you're faded

At least you're sorry when you're drunk

They all look at you, yeah, nobody moves

If my name gets dropped while you're still in the room

What can you do, I'm not easy to lose

Still a little taboo

A little taboo

A little taboo

Know I must be taboo with your girl

She's asking and you're getting quiet, so she fears the worst

Worried you miss me and you'll come back again

But baby, you hated me even when

I was your lover, that's why she's the one who has you

Ooh

But somehow I'm still the taboo
