[Verse 1]
You gave me a pet name
Which is not to say I like it

Not to say I was invited

[Pre-Chorus]
You said love was just a lie
But I could tell that you were lying
And we almost figured out how we'd get along
And given time, we'd find it strange to be alone and

[Verse 2]

But I can tell that you are lying
And we almost figured out how we'd get along
And given time, we'd find it strange to be alone and

[Chorus]
You just forgot your one pet name for me
And all those promises you said you'd keep
And it's a lucky thing
Because that sentimental stuff doesn't

[Chorus]
You just forgot your one pet name for me
And all those promises you said you'd keep
And it's a lucky thing
Because that sentimental stuff doesn't suit you at all
