I hope I don't seem immodest when I tell you that my
Mother was a pinhead and my father was a fly
That's why I love you darlin' with a love that's so unique
Your glistenin' wings they complement your head's exquisite peak
They all died by coin toss
Love's a form of memory loss
I can't forget that triple cross
You gotta lose
You gotta lose
Not so long ago I knew a guy who thought he can't be beat
But he got rabies on his rubies so he can't unlace his feet
For twenty minutes yesterday felt great, felt insensate
But when you're twenty minutes late your fate is patient and will wait
They all died by coin toss
Love's a form of memory loss
I can't forget that triple cross
You gotta lose
You gotta lose
I know it's hard for you to face the fact Max Factor failed your face
And your social life's misshapen cuz you feel so out of place
Those magic men you want to ask your soul to keep
They only love you from a distance one man deep
They all died by coin toss
Love's a form of memory loss
I can't forget that triple cross
You gotta lose
You gotta lose
You gotta lose
You gotta lose
You gotta lose
You gotta lose
You gotta lose
You gotta lose
You gotta lose
You gotta lose
You gotta lose
You gotta lose
