One Week

Artists : Barenaked Ladies : One Week

it's been one week since you looked at me
cocked your head to one side
and said "I'm angry"
five days since you laughed at me saying
"get it together, come back and see me"
three days since the living room
I realized its all my fault, but couldn't tell you
yesterday you'd forgiven me
but it'll still two days til I say i'm sorry

hold it know and watch the hoodwink
as I make you make you stop, think
you'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish,
although I like Chalet Swiss
and I like the sushi
'cause it's never touched a frying pan
hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
big like LeAnn Rimes
because I'm all about value
Bert Kaemfet's got the mad hits
you try to match wits, you try to hold me
but I bust through
like Andrew Lloyd, I've got the big show
mine's about a back-hoe
there'll be a big sound from the pavement
gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin' achin' shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavors
gotta see the show, 'cause then you'll know
the vertigo is gonna grow
'cause its so dangerous,
you'll have to sign a waiver
how can I help it if I think you're funny when your mad
tryin' hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
can't understand what I mean?
you soon will
I have a tendancy to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt

it's been one week since you looked at me
threw your arms in the air
and said "you're crazy"
five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
its been three days since the afternoon
you realized its not my fault
not a moment too soon
yesterday you'd forgiven me
and now I sit back and wait
til you say you're sorry

chickity china the chinese chicken
have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
watching' X-Files with no lights on
we're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
like Harrison Ford, I'm getting frantic
like Sting I'm tantric
like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
like Kurasawa, I make mad fils
okay, I don't make films
but if I did they's have a samurai
like Skywalker, gotta big hunch
hey, thats my lunch
Yoda's a really, really old guy
gonna get in tune with Sailor Moon
'cause that cartoon had got
the boom anime babes
that make me think the wrong thing
how can I help it if I think you're funny
when you're mad
tryin' hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
can't understand what I mean?
well, you soon will
I have a tendancy to wear
my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt

it's been one week since you looked at me
dropped your arms to your sides
and said "I'm sorry"
five days since I laughed at you and said
"you just did just what I thought
you were gonna do"
three days since the living room
we realized we're both to blame,
but what could we do?
yesterday you just smiled at me
'cause it'll still be two days
till we say we're sorry
