The Case Against Tattoos Songtext
von Wonderlick

There′s another man's name
On the small of her back
Every now and then
They have a fight about that
First time was the worst
At the beach when she forgot
He started freaking out
When she took off her top

Like a band with one hit
That they always have to play
Every argument since then
Must make mention of that day
He says if you really cared
There are ways to take it off
She says that′s how I got here
By trying to prove my love


You can't force yourself
Not to change
Not to change

They had seven perfect years
Then three more almost as great
In the two since then
The passion's started to abate
Even when they argue
The stakes don′t seem as high
This is just a law of time
That no one can defy

He wouldn′t say he's happy
But he′s glad he's not alone
After work they put on records
He starts getting stoned
She looks for perfect moments
Inside a favorite song
Lives inside of those
Until the next one comes along


You can′t force yourself
Not to change
Not to change
