Pet Name

[Verse 1]

You gave me a pet name

Which is not to say I like it

We met at a party

Not to say I was invited

[Pre-Chorus]

You said love was just a lie

But I could tell that you were lying

And we almost figured out how we'd get along

And given time, we'd find it strange to be alone and

[Verse 2]

You work in a hotel

At the magazine concession

"Back in just five minutes"

Reads the sign above your station

[Pre-Chorus]

Slip your profits in a bag

And you're looking up to the hour hand

Then we almost figured out how we'll get along

And given time, we'll find it strange to be alone and

[Chorus]

You just forgot your one pet name for me

And all those promises you said you'd keep

And it's a lucky thing

Because that sentimental stuff doesn't suit you at all

[Verse 3]

Waiting at the bus stop

For just about an hour

Strategies for hangman

Cat's cradle, origami

[Pre-Chorus]

You say I'm okay for a guy

But I can tell that you are lying

And we almost figured out how we'd get along

And given time, we'd find it strange to be alone and

[Chorus]

You just forgot your one pet name for me

And all those promises you said you'd keep

And it's a lucky thing

Because that sentimental stuff doesn't

You just forgot your one pet name for me

And all those promises you said you'd keep

And it's a lucky thing

Because that sentimental stuff doesn't suit you at all
