Pet Name Lyrics by They Might Be Giants

Pet Name Lyrics

    You gave me a pet name
    Which is not to say i like it
    We met at a party
    Not to say i was invited

    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

    You work in a hotel
    At the magazine concession
    Back in just five minutes
    Reads the sign above your station

    Slip your profits in a bag
    And you're looking up to the hour hand
    And we almost figured out how we'll get along
    And given time we'll find it strange to be alone and

    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

    Waiting at the bus stop
    For just about an hour
    Strategies for hangman
    Cat's cradle, origami

    You say i'm ok for a guy
    But i can tell that you are lying
    And we've almost figured out how we'll get along
    And given time we'll find it strange to be alone and

    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

    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
