I'm thinking back to a sensual act I enjoyed with a girl in my teens While me and the Mrs exchange goodnight kisses Rollover, pretend we're asleep That's when it hit me what my old man meant When he warned us that nothing is free Old love's not truer than new love Old lovers just know what it means A bee sting swells up for a day or two Mosquito bites itch for a week Sleep on the sofabed nearly a month For an innocent kiss on the cheek If I still wanna trade in some nuclear woes For a hive where the drones eat the queen Well then old loves not truer than new love I need three pours just to walk through the door Be civil and not make a scene The only thing dripping is contempt as she hands me a box from the pharmacy Three more to choke it all down 'cause we both know that I'll never leave Old loves not truer than new love Old lovers just know what it means Old loves not truer than new love Old lovers just know what it means
