From the evidence provided in our family tree, I find it rather hard to make a case for you and me
When you were in kindergarten back in 1991, playing with your friend, his dad was sleeping with your mom
And your brother did the neighbor even though he had a kid, the fact he had a family didn't stop him one bit
And then my own daddy did his employee
So why would it work this time? On the doorbell there's the  name of a girl I never met
You say you will take it away, you haven't got around it yet
I know I'm not your first love - I figured that one out
In fact, the number of your love count has two figures, without doubt
You keep the books with pencil and eraser
For all the catch that I might be, you're still a chaser
So why would it work? Why would it work this time? Because you love me? Don't be silly
Why would it work this time? Am I naive to believe in the depth of your affection? When you say you never felt this way I doubt your recollection
We're cocooning and we're spooning, watching movies, staying in, because an ex of yours had Netflix and you still know her login
And in the movie of my life I can feel the plot thicken
You know that I love you, said the fox to the chicken
But why would it work? Why would it work this time? Because you love me? Don't be silly
Why would it work this time? And every time I look at you I can't help but notice your tattoo
And I don't know if it stands for Tina, Tess or Tiffany
But the one thing that I know is that my name don't start with T - now you tell me
Why would it work? Why would it work this time? Because you love me? Don't be silly
Why would it work this time? I'm just the next girl in line.
