Sucker love is heaven sent You pucker up our passion's spent My hearts a tart your body's rent My body's broken yours is bent Carve your name into my arm Instead of stressed I lie here charmed Cause there's nothing else to do Every me and every you Sucker love a box I choose No other box I choose to use Another love I would abuse No circumstances could excuse In the shape of things to come Too much poison come undone Cause there's nothing else to do Every me and every you Every me and every you Every me Sucker love is known to swing Prone to cling and waste these things Pucker up for heavens sake There's never been so much at stake I serve my head up on a plate It's only comfort, calling late Cause there's nothing else to do Every me and every you Every me and every you Every me, Every me and every you Every me Like the naked leads the blind I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind Sucker love I always find Someone to bruise and leave behind All alone in space and time There's nothing here but what here's mine Something borrowed, something blue Every me and every you Every me and every you Every me Every me and every you Every me
