To me, open relationships, are ones that have no lies
not where anyone with twenty bucks can get between your thighs
And having things in common means both liking the Habs
not using the same powder since you gave me *****
And being careful means condoms and taking time to think
not trying to keep the noise down or not spilling your drink
So I'm flattered that you think I'm cute, and I have a nice ***
But really honey, you ain't my type, so I think I'll have to pass.
