Four Letter Word

It's hard to say who's the one to blame
I guess it'd be you now
I like to smile when I think of you
But that wouldn't be true now
All the lights were green back in the day
We never had any sense to stop then
For civility we were taught then
Not then, no

I take it back all the love I gave
Or haven't you heard now?
I'm not ashamed that I treat your name like
A four-letter word now
Napoleon himself would have to agree
He'd be happy to see all the battles won now
And the curtain across the sun now
And your side of face staring back at me

And if there be any doubt
That you'll be the one I can do without
Well, if there's still room to breathe
Please take a long last look and I'll be the first to leave

Your silver ring doesn't mean a thing
Tell your folks that is all now
I keep a bat and a glove by the door in case
You wanna play ball now
Well, Kournikova herself would have to agree
She'd be counting to three, then the gloves are off now
And the trophy is held aloft now
And it starts like it stops now

And it starts like it stops
And it starts like it stops
And it starts like it stops now
