Pet Name

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

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

You work in a hotel

At the magazine concession

Back in just five minutes

Reads the sign above your station

Slip your profits in a bag

And you're looking up to the hour hand

And we almost figured out how we'll get along

And given time we'll find it strange to be alone and

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

Waiting at the bus stop

For just about an hour

Strategies for hangman

Cat's cradle, origami

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

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

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
