lyrics

(he does it too)

I saw his car go past the water on a Tuesday
Going the wrong way round from town, in no great hurry
And I stood at the window with a cup like an idiot
And I understood exactly what I was looking at

He does it too (he does it too)
Since March, he does it too
The long way home, he does it too
He does it too

He does it too, does it too, he does it too
Twenty minutes to put down whatever he carries
He does it too, does it too, he does it too
And I will not be mentioning it. Not ever. Not once.

(key change up)
Eleven years I thought it was a solitary thing.
A private failure I was getting away with quietly.
It's a marriage. It turns out that's what a marriage is.

He does it too, does it too, he does it too
Twenty minutes to put down whatever he carries
He does it too, does it too, he does it too
And I will not be mentioning it. Not ever. Not once.

(he does it too...)
