| One Week |
Performed By: Barenaked Ladies
From the album: "Stunt" (1998)
It's been
One week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to one side and said "I'm angry"
Five days since you laughed at me
Saying "Get that together, come back, and see me"
Three days since the living room
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
But it'll still be two days 'till I say "I'm sorry"
Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish
Although I like the Chalet Swiss
And I like sushi 'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like LeAnn rhymes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits
You try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin' achin' shake
I'd like vanilla it's the finest of the flavors
Gonna see the show 'cause then you know
The vertigo is gonna grow
'Cause it's so dangerous you'll have to sign a waiver
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Tryin' hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean? Well, you soon will
I have the tendancy to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms inthe air and said "you're crazy"
Five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realized its not my fault, not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry
Chickity China the Chinese chicken
Have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm gettin frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay I dont make films
But if I did, they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set a' better clubs
Gonna find the kind with the tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing
How can I help if I think you're funny when you're mad
Tryin' hard not to smile thgouh I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have the tendancy to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt
Its been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to the sides and said "I'm sorry"
Five days since I laughed at you and said
"You just did just what I thought you were gonna do"
Three days since the living room,
We realized we were both to blame, but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
'Cause we still got two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
