When they say promises They mean promises They'd say, "that's ok, Long as we can celebrate" You see, my uncle would say things would change when he's dead "Meet me in the bathroom" That's what she said I don't mind, it's true. Never was on time Yes, I once was mine Well, that was long ago And darling, I don't mind. Yeah, we were just two friends in lust And baby, that just don't mean much You trained me not to love After you showed me what it was Now she's staring wide-eyed Can't close her eyes Say what? Anywhere is fine just don't waste my time You see, my uncle would say things would change once he's dead "Meet me in the bathroom" That's what she said I don't mind, it's true. Never was on time Yes, I once was mine Well, that was long ago And darling, I don't mind. Yeah, they were just two fucks in lust Baby, that just don't mean much You trained me not to love After you taught me what it was.
