The rules by which you play
The clothes that you were
The things that you say
The hairstyle you have
The perfume that you use
The smile when you’re glad
Your cheeks when you’re confused
Makes me go mad
But despite this
Let’s go to square one
Please, do not forget
My safe-word is “apples”
My safe-word is “apples”
Please, do not forget
My safe-word is “apples”
My safe-word is “apples”
Stone face when I joke with you
The way you dance when drunk
When you cook cream soup
When you rage — you’re the hulk
Your selfie on my phone
The mess at your small flat
Your mood’s like a cyclone
Makes me go mad
But despite this
Let’s go to square one
Please, do not forget
My safe-word is “apples”
My safe-word is “apples”
I roll down to your waist
To meet tomorrow morning
To smell mint toothpaste
And nothing else to worry us
But I know that it is fleeting
We should ignore this meeting
Please say this word
