lyrics

We mistook our youth for prime
While we were getting old
But we sure had a time, boy
Before you got too bold
I understand you cannot stay
Believe me, I do
I’d react the same way
If I were you

Of all the things you’ve said of me, there’s none I can deny
And there is no other side of me that I have tried to hide
Still I guess I should have told you when I walked into your life
That I, oh I, oh I, oh I'm
A creature of habit

The thing is I’m not quite as mean
As I try to seem
But you know I cannot say
That I didn’t mean it
See, I became a master
Of the narcopathic smile
Imperious and pearly white
Is my perfect style
