Oldest Trick in the Book Songtext
von Matt Maltese

I cannot follow us like a persistent worm
That′s not a thing that I can do
You are a lake of love, a raging genius
And you don't want the things I do

The first time we met up, asked you in for coffee
You said, "That′s the oldest trick in the book"
And when I think about you often, I picture you smirking
When I used the oldest trick in the book


Cute if not pitiful, so unoriginal
And yet, it's how it all begins
If I'm a lake, then you, you′re a deep diver
And who can say if that′s enough to win?

The first time we met up, asked you in for coffee
You said, "That's the oldest trick in the book"
And when I think about you often, I picture you smirking
When I used the oldest trick in the book

The first time we met up, asked you in for coffee
You said, "That′s the oldest trick in the book"
And when I think about you often, I picture you smirking
When I used the oldest trick in the book
