Lyrics

One Week

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.

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 lookin' at Aquaman

I summon fish to the dish

Although I like the Chalet Swiss

I like the sushi 'cause its ever touched a frying pan

Hot like Wasabe when I bust rhymes

Big like LeAnn Rimes

Because I'm all about value

Bert Kaempfort'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 like vanilla, its the finest of the flavors

Gotta see the show, 'cause then you'll know

The vertigo is gonna grow

Cause its so dangerous

You'll have to sign a waiver

How can I help 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 tendency 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 in the 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 don't 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 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 tendency 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

Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie
