Until Next Time

It’s very nice of you to drop in unexpectedly
You should’ve called, my hair’s a mess and the house isn’t nearly clean

I’ll see you, let me see you
I’ll see you to the door

Can’t say I’m disappointed, sense of relief now that you’ve gone
Can’t say that I enjoyed it, I’m happy now you’ve gone

Yes I realise the kitchen’s dirty, I’ll get onto it
Yes I’m eating well – my weight? I’ve only lost a bit

This facade of politeness is not easy to maintain
I wear that sickly smile, inside you only cause me pain

I’ll see you, let me see you
I’ll see you to the door (x2 … out the door)

Can’t help how I feel, but you’re such a bore
Hurts to have to kneel to you, cuts right to the core
Why can’t you take these hints I’m dropping
Why don’t we make this a permanent goodbye

It’s very tiresome of you noticing I haven’t vacuumed yet
I’d offer you a drink but the water is paid for in the rent

I’ll see you, let me see you
I’ll nail you to the floor

Can’t say I’m disappointed, sense of relief now that you’ve gone
Can’t say that I enjoyed it, I’m happy now you’ve gone
