If it weren't for me you would

Bm C

never have amounted to very much

You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me

Em C G

what part of our history's reinvented

Em C G

what part of your memory is selective

D

and tends to forget?

what with this distance it seems so obvious?

VERSE3:

Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your family

We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse

I wish I could tell the world cuz you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly

I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm body
