Loose lips on ships I'm getting to grips With what you said No it's not in my head I can't awaken the dead Day after day Why don't we talk about it Why do you always doubt that there can be a better way It doesn't make me want to stay Why don't we break up There's nothing left to say I got my eye shut praying they won't stray Oh! When I sexed up That's what makes the difference today I hope you blow away You said we're fatally flawed When I'm easily bored, Is that okay? Write me off your list Make this the last kiss I'll walk away Why don't we talk about it I'm only here Don't shout it Given time we'll forget Let's pretend we never met Why don't we break up There's nothing left to say I got my eye shut praying they won't stray Oh! When I sexed up That's what makes the difference today I hope you blow away Screw you I didn't like your taste Anyway, I chose you And that's all gone to wasted Saturday I'll go out and find another you Why don't we, Why don't we break up There's nothing left to say I got my eye shut praying they won't stray Oh! When I sexed up That's what makes the difference today I hope you blow away
