Meet Me In The Bathroom

Song byThe Strokes

in AlbumRoom On Fire

When they say promises

They mean promises.

They'd say, "that's ok,

Long as we can celebrate"

You see, my uncle would say

things would change when he's dead...

"Meet me in the bathroom"

That's what she said

I don't mind...it's true.

Never was on time

Yes, I once was mine

Well, that was long ago

And darling, I don't mind.

Yeah, we were just two friends in lust

And baby, that just don't mean much

You trained me not to love

After you showed me what it was

Now she's staring wide-eyed

Can't close her eyes

Anywhere is fine

just don't waste my time

You see, my uncle would say

things would change once he's dead...

"Meet me in the bathroom"

That's what she said

I don't mind...it's true.

Never was on time

Yes, I once was mine

Well, that was long ago

And darling, I don't mind.

Yeah, they were just two fucks in lust

Baby, that just don't mean much

You trained me not to love

After you taught me what it was.
