Bathwater Lyrics
[00:26.13] You and your museum of lovers
[00:29.54] The precious collection you've housed in your covers
[00:32.96] My simpleness threatened by my own admission
[00:38.99] And the bags are much too heavy
[00:42.68] In my insecure condition
[00:45.80] My pregnant mind is fat full with envy again
[00:51.79] But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
[00:55.96] Love to think that you couldn't love another
[00:59.14] I can't help it, you're my kind of man
[01:07.08]
[01:12.19] Wanted and adored by attractive women
[01:15.59] Bountiful selection at your discretion
[01:18.83] I know I'm diving into my own destruction
[01:25.10] So why do we choose the boys that are naughty
[01:28.66] I don't fit in so why do you want me
[01:31.89] And I know I can't tame you, but I just keep trying
[01:37.77] 'Cause I love to wash in your old bathwater
[01:41.99] Love to think that you couldn't love another
[01:45.24] On your list with all your other women
[01:51.10] But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
[01:55.11] You make me feel like I couldn't love another
[01:58.49] I can't help it, you're my kind of man
[02:05.28]
[02:25.71] Why do the good girls always want the bad boys?
[02:32.05]
[02:37.32] And so I pacify problems with kisses and cuddles
[02:41.00] Diligently doubtful through all kinds of troubles
[02:44.43] Then I find myself choking on all my contradictions
[02:49.75] 'Cause I still love to wash in your old bathwater
[02:54.00] Love to think that you couldn't love another
[02:57.42] Share a toothbrush you're my kind of man
[03:03.62] I still love to wash in your old bathwater
[03:07.45] Make me feel like I couldn't love another
[03:10.72] I can't help it you're my kind of man
[03:18.19]
[03:29.66] No I can't help myself
[03:32.50] I can't help myself
[03:36.49] I still love to wash in your old bathwater
[03:40.91]
[00:29.54] The precious collection you've housed in your covers
[00:32.96] My simpleness threatened by my own admission
