Lyrics
so you & I were only tracing paper practicing the love you knew you'd give to her guess you always thought that you could do better than me than me? whoa! 'cause I only make you smile so wide and you never ever had to try I knew it wasn't right 'cause, we don't fight we're so right we're just too right one sock off when I wake up at least I know how you were lost & I'm not what she's got but well you loosened the knot when you stifled the love & the laugh & the kiss & the cough, hey I was a drill or some other rehearsal I won't pay the bill for all of her refusals if it was a play well you'd be getting paid & I'd be on stage not knowing what to say one sock off when I wake up at least I know how you were lost & I'm not what she's got but well you loosened the knot when you stifled the love & the laugh & the kiss & the cough tracing paper crumpled by my anger poo you think you're clever now if you had your way she'd be in my place never have to kiss my face, face oo, ah, oo one sock off when I wake up at least I know how you were lost & I'm not what she's got but well you loosened the knot when you stifled the love & the laugh & the kiss & the cough & the fun & the sun & the style & the smile & the love & the kiss & the cough {gasp}
