Second Rate

I love the way

You never stop your frowning

But if I saw you drowning

I wouldn't waste my time to rescue youI love the way

You eat soup with your fingers

The way your odour lingers

For hours after you have left the roomLove the way that even though we fight

We know that it'll be all right

I know why we get on so great

We're second rateLove the way

You never give up trying

But when you're old and dying

I won't be the one to care for youI love the way

You live life on the sofa

You're as lively as a coma

I should've told you long ago we're throughLove the way that even though we fight

We know that it'll be all right

I know why we get on so great

We're second rateWe're OK

Oh, you really think so?

To be honest I just don't know

But we put up with it anyway
