P. J. Harvey - Angelene lyrics

There ain't a woman in the world that wants to hear the word yes

When she asks if you think that she looks chubby in that dress

And if she cooks all day you better eat it with a smile

It doesn't matter if it tastes just like bad gravy on a Goodyear tire

Yeah, yeah, yeah all right so you bend the truth

Yeah, yeah, yeah that's somethin' that you'll have to get use to

Chorus

'Cause that's love you'll see

We all commit a little bit of perjury

Ah but that's no crime if you ask me, that's love

You're starin' at a burnt steak

You bite the bullet and you clean your plate

And then you go on and on about how great it was

That's not a lie, that's love

Well it's the very same thing that she does for you

When she doesn't bring up the fifteen pounds that you need to lose

And every time she runs her fingers through your hair

And she says she kinda likes the way there's not as much of it there

Yeah, yeah, yeah well all right so she bends the truth

Yeah, yeah, yeah that's somethin' that you have to get use to

Repeat chorus

Yeah, yeah, yeah well all right so you bend the truth

Yeah, yeah, yeah that's somethin' that you'll both gonna do

'Cause that's love you'll see

We all commit a little bit of perjury

You say I like it when your momma comes to visit us

That's not a lie, that's not a lie, that's love
