[Verse 1] Baby, seasons change, but people don't, and I'll always be waiting in the back room I'm boring, but overcompensate with Headlines and flash, flash, flash photography [Pre-Chorus] But don't pretend you ever forgot about me Don't pretend you ever forgot about me [Chorus] Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee? Style your wake for fashion magazines Widow or a divorcee? Don't pretend, d-d-d-don't pretend [Refrain] We don't fight fair We don't fight fair [Verse 2] They say your head can be a prison Then these are just conjugal visits People will dissect us till This doesn't mean a thing anymore [Pre-Chorus] Don't pretend you ever forgot about me Don't pretend you ever forgot about me [Chorus] Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee? Style your wake for fashion magazines, oh-oh-oh Widow or a divorcee? Don't pretend, d-d-d-don't pretend [Bridge] We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces We're trapped and well concealed in secret places, oh-woah We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces We're trapped and well concealed in secret places [Refrain] We don't fight fair We don't fight fair We don't fight fair We don't fight fair We don't fight fair... [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces We're trapped and well concealed in secret places, oh-woah We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces We're trapped and well concealed in secret places [Outro] We don't fight fair, with smiles on our faces We're trapped and well concealed in secret places We don't fight fair (Don't pretend you ever forgot about me) We don't fight fair (Don't pretend you ever forgot about me) We don't fight fair
