lyrics

me and my old lady

lay in bed all day

when i say i love her

well she rolls the other way

but really she don't mean it

everything she says

still if i believe in love

there's nothing wrong

there's nothing wrong with my head

me and my old lady

sit and sip on wine

when she says she loves me

well i say that love is blind

but really i don't mean it

everything i say

still if she believes in love

there's nothing wrong

there's nothing wrong with her head

so what if we're making a scene now

you know she don't give a shit

when she's pawin' and grabin' on me now

you know i don't mind a bit

it's all good and we

ain't gonna change now

the world is unaware

so if you want go on and stare

cause we don't care

she ain't no ball and chain

me and my old lady

suck each other dry

when in that position

i'm the luckiest man alive

quenching our libidos

passing time away

now that we believe in love

there's nothing wrong

there's nothing wrong with our head
