Parenthetical Girls - Weaknesses lyrics

Before each bit of gladness
Someone must taste the sadness
I'll bear the sorrow let it be me

No matter what the price is
I'll make the sacrifices for each tomorrow
Let it be me

Can't you be still for just one second?
There now, clear the hair out of your face
And try to fit your fingers round your waist
Piece of cake, oh God, you look great
I know he'd know some perfect thing to say
Though I don't suppose they'd notice
If we're a little late
Let them wait, and anyways
Remember who was there to square
Your zipper back in place

Done in by books and bother
And of fondness for another
Well, no one wait's forever

Untoward in more than one direction
These questions open-ended by design
We'll best these indiscretions given time
Provided I might stay another night

And I know he knows
And that's all that I'm going to say
I suppose that I've noticed you've
Never said his name
More dour on the hour and duller by the day
But no heart is always in the wrong place

Oh honey, sure I'm flattered
So forgive me for this candor
But what is it you're after?
I'm business as usual
And you practice your birth control
Tell me, is this as tawdry as it sounds?

Can't we be weak for one second?
I'd reckon this is tough to justify
But, I've never done one pure
Thing in my life oh, nevermind
Just guide these hallowed hips of
Mine inside those equine thighs
