Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
You work in a hotel
At the magazine concession
Back in just five minutes
Reads the sign above your station
[Verse 4]
Slip your profits in a bag
And you're looking up to the hour hand then we
Almost figured out how we'll get along
And given time we'll
Find it strange to
Be alone and
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Waiting at the bus stop
For just about an hour
Strategies for hangman
Cat's cradle, origami
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
