Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Baby, seasons change but people don't And I'll always be waiting in the back room I'm boring but overcompensate with Headlines and flash, flash, flash photography But don't pretend you ever forgot about me Don't pretend you ever forgot about me Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee? Style your wake for fashion magazines Widow or a divorcee? Don't pretend it, don't pretend (We don't fight fair) (We don't fight fair) They say your head could be your prison Then these are just conjugal visits People will dissect us till this doesn't mean a thing anymore Don't pretend you ever forgot about me Don't pretend you ever forgot about me Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee? Style your wake for fashion magazines Widow or a divorcee? Don't pretend it, don't pretend We do it in the dark With smiles on our faces We're dropped and well concealed In secret places We do it in the dark With smiles on our faces We're dropped and well concealed In secret places We don't fight fair (We don't fight fair) We don't fight fair (We don't fight fair) We don't fight fair We do it in the dark With smiles on our faces We're dropped and well concealed In secret places We do it in the dark With smiles on our faces We're dropped and well concealed In secret places We don't fight fair With smiles on our faces We're dropped and well concealed In secret places We don't fight fair Don't pretend you ever forgot about me We don't fight fair Don't pretend you ever forgot about me We don't fight fair
