Enid
Lyrics and Songs by Barenaked Ladies - Go back

CHORUS:
Enid we never really knew each
other anyway
Enid we never really knew each
other anyway

It took me a year
to believe it was over
and it took me two more
to get over the loss.
I took a beating when you wrote
me those letters
and every time I remembered the
taste of your lipgloss.

CHORUS

Maybe we always saw right
through each other anyway.
but Enid we never really knew
each other anyway.

There were times when I wanted
to hurt you,
and there were times when I know that I did.
There were times when I thought I
would kill you,
but you can blame me I was only a
kid.

Tell me why we never respected
each other
and tell me why I never believed
that you were a person too
I always thought that you fancied
my brother.

I may not have liked it, oh but
memory is a strange thing, oh,
and Enid?
Enid I remember you.

CHORUS

Maybe we always saw right
through each other anyway,
but Enid we never really knew
each other anyway.

It took me a year
to believe it was over,
and it took me two more
to get over the loss.
I took a beating when you wrote
me those letters,
and every time you told me
to get lost.

Now its not fair to say that's its
'cause I was three inches shorter
then,
'and its not fair to say that its
'cause I was only fifteen years old.
But maybe its fait to say there was
a lack of communication, oh,
and Enid,
Enid you caught a cold.

I can get a job I can pay the phone
bills
I can cut the lawn cut my hair cut
out my cholesterol
I can work overtime I can work in a
mine
I can do it all for you,
But I don't want to.

Enid we never really knew each
other anyway.
