It’s been a long while, hasn’t it?
You look as good as I’ve ever seen.
I’m sorry I couldn’t make it last time;
I had somewhere I had to be.
But look, I got a new sweater,
It keeps me warm on these cold summer nights.
I’m telling you that everything’s alright.
I’m telling you, it’s paradise
With both of us living next to you.
And though we fight and we squabble sometimes,
I know that I love him and he loves me too, but,
I’m sorry if all that screaming and shouting
Is why you can’t sleep at night.
I promise you that everything’s alright.
You know I’d die for him and he knows that too
I nearly had a couple times
His hand is strong but his love is too,
You know he loves me, oh he loves me.
I’ve gotta go now
I’ve gotta make it home
I don’t even want to think about last time
He caught me out just a bit too long.
Please don’t you worry, you know
The scars, they never tell it right.
You know I promise you that everything’s alright
You know I promise you that everything’s alright
