MARTHA WAINWRIGHT - Question of Etiquette lyrics

Met you for the first time late last week

Came to dinner, cold and bleak

But I held back

Held myself on track

Question of etiquette

Or maybe just regret

Noticed your blond hair

Your blue eyes too

I might have seemed quiet, a little shrewd

I didn't wanna touch you

You seemed so new

But you looked just like me

Eighteen years ago

Now I don't know where your mommy met my daddy

It doesn't matter, it might be shady

But I like you, maybe you'll like me

And we can pretend that we are a family

I live up north with my mom

Somewhere that your new daddy's not around

But you can't blame the situation on your parent's intuition

And you're not a fool

You're only two

There's another one, oh in fact two

For altogether daddy's really good

We got a sister named Lucy

And her momma's really pretty

And we all love each other

And one day, you too

I got a brother you might want to meet

He can be yours, it's really kind of neat

I hope my mother doesn't pull a fit

She always thinks this stuff is bullshit

There'll be christmas and holidays

Weddings and funerals

Met you for the first time late last week

You came to dinner, it could've been bleak

But I held back

Held myself on track

Question of etiquette

Or maybe just regret

Question of etiquette

Oh Baby, there's no regret
