Lyrics[edit]

     Her heart is in my hand
     It shivers like a toad
     She tries to understand the
     Tiny lump that's down
     Inside her throat it goes

     Suck suck
     Suck suck
     Suck suck

     Her head is in my lap
     It twists and coughs and sings
     Her hair is in my grasp
     It hangs and swings like
     Swollen strings she just

     Suck suck
     Suck suck
     Suck suck

     Her face is inside out
     An open book report
     I read what she's about and she's
     Filled with words and words that hurt it goes

     Suck suck
     Suck suck
     Suck suck

     Sometimes I want her in
     Sometimes I want her out
     My perception of sin
     Is filled with pain and fear
     And doubt

     She she, she she,
     She isn't my girlfriend
     Oh oh, I'm not who you think I am
     She she, she isn't my girlfriend
     Oh oh, I'm not who you think I am   
 
     Her clothes are on the ground
     A crumpled rainbow mass
     She's scattered all around
     And she's scattered now
     Like broken glass it goes

     Suck suck
     Suck suck
     Suck suck

     Sometimes I want her in
     Sometimes I want her out
     My perception of sin
     Is filled with pain and fear
     And doubt  
      
     Just because I fuck you doesn't mean I'm your
     Boyfriend

     She she, she she,
     She isn't my girlfriend
     Oh oh, I'm not who you think I am
     She she, she isn't my girlfriend
     Oh oh, I'm not who you think I am
     She she, she isn't my girlfriend
