It Came Quick (And It Didn't Stay Long) Lyrics

It came quick and it didn't stay long
That was as much as I could take
It came quick and it didn't stay long
Now I'm a ripple in its wake
I don't care if it don't come 'round here
The next three hours maybe four
It came quick and it didn't stay long
I want it back again some more
Oh yeah
(I don't care)
What's going on in the world
(She don't care)
My my my my my my baby
(We don't care)
We speak a language that we never even heard

It came quick and it didn't stay long
I can't help but waste my time
It came quick and it didn't stay long
But first patience is sublime
I don't care if it don't come 'round here
The next three hours maybe four
It came quick and it didn't stay long
I should have locked up all the doors
All right
(I don't care)
I don't care that t.v.'s just a distraction
(She don't care)
My my my my my my baby
(We don't care)
We speak a language that we never even heard
(I don't care)
For just for a second I'm gone
(She don't care)
But I have told her for maybe
(We don't care)
We speak a language that we never even heard
Never said a word
Listen to me
(It came quick and it didn't stay long)
It came quick and it didn't stay long
(It came quick and it didn't stay long)
No-o-o
(It came quick and it didn't stay long)
It came quick and it didn't stay long
(It came quick and it didn't stay long)
My uncle went down to the river
but his girlfriend fell asleep
She rolled right into the water
uncle pulled her from the deep
Mouth to mouth resuscitation
turned to passion then to fire
So my uncle and that river did conspire
(It came quick and it didn't stay long)
The best things in life all flee
(It came quick and it didn't stay long)
Whoa-oh-oh
(It came quick and it didn't stay long)
It came quick and it didn't stay long
(It came quick and it didn't stay long)
