lyrics
me and my old lady
lay in bed all day
when i say i love her
well she rolls the other way
but really she don't mean it
everything she says
still if i believe in love
there's nothing wrong
there's nothing wrong with my head
me and my old lady
sit and sip on wine
when she says she loves me
well i say that love is blind
but really i don't mean it
everything i say
still if she believes in love
there's nothing wrong
there's nothing wrong with her head
so what if we're making a scene now
you know she don't give a shit
when she's pawin' and grabin' on me now
you know i don't mind a bit
it's all good and we
ain't gonna change now
the world is unaware
so if you want go on and stare
cause we don't care
she ain't no ball and chain
me and my old lady
suck each other dry
when in that position
i'm the luckiest man alive
quenching our libidos
passing time away
now that we believe in love
there's nothing wrong
there's nothing wrong with our head
