The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Baby, seasons change but people don't
And I'll always be waiting in the back room
I'm boring but overcompensate with
Headlines and flash, flash, flash photography
But don't pretend you ever forgot about me
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me
Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcée?
Style your wake for fashion magazines
Widow or a divorcée?
Don't pretend, d-d-d-don't pretend
We don't fight fair
We don't fight fair
They say your head can be a prison
Then these are just conjugal visits
People will dissect us 'till
This doesn't mean a thing anymore
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me
Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcée?
Style your wake for fashion magazines, ohhh
Widow or a divorcée?
Don't pretend, d-d-d-don't pretend
We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces
We're dropped and well concealed in secret places, woah
We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces
We're dropped and well concealed in secret places
We don't fight fair
We don't fight fair
We don't fight fair
We don't fight fair
We don't fight fair
We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces
We're dropped and well concealed in secret places, woah
We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces
We're dropped and well concealed in secret places
We don't fight fair
With smiles on our faces
We're dropped and well concealed in secret places
We don't fight fair
(Don't pretend you ever forgot about me)
We don't fight fair
(Don't pretend you ever forgot about me)
We don't fight fair
