Hot Nickels

When you left I said I'd wait for you
But I went out and found a lover who
Gives me warmth and keeps me home at night
I'd rather you hate me than have to lie

Perhaps you have
Found comfort with another man
Perhaps he's even put his hands
On places I have too
And if you lie
Having the stranger deep inside
Please tell me baby I won't mind
I've done the same as you

When you came back and found the mess I made
Maybe next time you'll learn never to wait
For something as fickle and perverse as love
I feel we've lost sparks from when the party starts

Perhaps you have
Found comfort with another man
Perhaps he even put his hand
In places I have too
And if you lie
Having another deep inside
Please tell me baby I won't mind
I've done the same as you

So take my hand
Turn off the lights and we'll pretend
That what we have'll never end
This broken heart'll mend
So take my hand
Turn off the lights and we'll pretend
That what we have'll never end
The heart I broke I'll mend
