Your flirt finds me out Teases the crack in me Smittens me with hope Possibly maybe possibly maybe possibly maybe As much as I definitely enjoy solitude I wouldn't mind perhaps Spending little time with you Sometimes Sometimes Possibly maybe probably love Possibly maybe probably love Uncertainty excites me babe Who knows what's going to happen? Lottery or car crash Or you'll join a cult Probably maybe possibly love Probably maybe possibly love, possibly Mon petit vulcan You're eruptions and disasters I keep calm admiring your lava I keep calm Possibly maybe probably love Possibly maybe probably love Electric shocks? I love them! With you, dozen a day But after a while I wonder Where's that love you promised me? Where is it? Possibly maybe probably love, possibly Possibly maybe probably love, possibly How can you offer me love like that? My heart's burned How can you offer me love like that? I'm exhausted Leave me alone Possibly maybe possibly maybe Possibly maybe Since we broke up I'm using lipstick again I suck my tongue In remembrance of you
