lyrics

i wanna say
without you i would die
but if you stayed i would die as well
we all die eventually

i wanna say without you
i'd be lost
but that's because i have no
sense of direction
and you're the one with the
smart phone

i'll never love this way again
until i fall in love again
which i would do
if this fell through
'cause my heart is big and i'm horny too

the thought of our love fading away
to be honest it would be okay
there's a lot of other people that i could fuck
the fact that i'm with you is mostly out of luck but

but i need you
i need you
i need you
to get things off the top shelf
'cause i'm too short i
can't do it by myself

and baby if you cheated on me
i'd be so sad
but then i'd realize you were a douche
and i'd menstruate onto all of your clothes

baby we've been fighting
i was wrong and i'm crying so hard
on second thought, go fuck yourself
there's no way kirk is better than picard

i'd wait forever for you
but forever is kind of abstract
so i'd wait for a reasonable amount of time
and then i'd try to call your phone back

the thought of our love fading away
to be honest it would be okay 'cause
love's not a thing that you gotta force
i think that's why they call it beating off a dead horse

don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me
all the dishes to do
by myself
'cause it's your turn if you
do them i'll still help

you know they say that
you're nobody til
somebody loves you but
well there's been many times when
nobody's loved me at all
but how can i be nobody
when i've always got my sweet sweet body
so if you say see ya later
i'd still have my vibrator

the thought of our love fading away
to be honest it would be okay
sometimes you gotta roll when the tune don't rock
'cause nobody likes to fuck a soft cock

they call it pushing rope
they call it soft serve
they call it noodles and cheese
but i still want to connect
at least while our love
is erect

about

Shirley Gnome Vancouver, British Columbia

From the west coast of Canada comes this multi-award winning cabaret musician, whose all-original, uncensored music about human nature is hilarious, honest, subversive, smart, empowering, taboo and not for the faint of heart. Her cleverly carnal lyrics go down smooth with her inappropriately gorgeous vocals, and her charm will disarm you through even the most provocative topics. ... more
