  • My friend Sally's getting married
    And to me that sounds so scary
    I'm still tryin' to clean up my side of the street
    Can't imagine what would happen
    'Cause I'm still acting out of habit
    Hoping dirty words just don't escape my teeth

    Oh, but every time I try just a little
    Promise that I'll meet in the middle
    Always find my way back to my feet

    So close the door and change the channel
    Give me something I can handle
    A good lover or someone that's nice to me
    Take my money, wreck my Sundays
    Love me 'til your next somebody
    Oh, but promise me that when it's time to leave
    Don't forget me
    Don't forget me

    My friend Molly's got a guy, she
    Swears to God could be her family
    Says he's got the greenest eyes you've ever seen
    But it's crazy all the days she spends
    Just following him to parties
    She seems happy, oh, but that's not love to me

    Oh, but every time I try just a little
    Promise that I'll meet in the middle
    I always find my way back to my feet

    So close the door and change the channel
    Give me something I can handle
    A good lover or someone who's nice to me
    Take my money, wreck my Sundays
    Love me 'til your next somebody
    Oh, and promise me that when it's time to leave
    Don't forget me
    Don't forget me

    And maybe I'm dead wrong
    Maybe I was bitter from the winter all along
    Maybe there's a stranger standing, holding out
    For love, just waiting on the next street
    Just for me
    Oh, just for me

    So close the door and change the channel
    Give me something I can handle
    A good lover, someone who's nice to me
    Take my money, wreck my Sundays
    Love me 'til your next somebody
    Oh, but promise me that when it's time to leave
    Oh, won't you promise me that when it's time to leave
    Don't forget me
