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

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)
