Corrandes de La Parella Estable

We met on a Wednesday waiting in line at the Arcadín cinema
And it's been a struggle with God's help to get here
I offered her a candy on Saint Medir's evening
And it's been tough

A very close friend came by too often
And it's been tough...
"Do you want to come?" I asked her to meet my parents
It's been tough...

And now, she takes the kids to school and I do the dishes at night
It's been tough...
I feed the parakeets, she waters the garden
And it's been tough...
I always buy cheddar even though she prefers brie
And it's been tough...

I'm a fan of Asterix and she has all the Tintins
It's been tough...
I'd rather she not talk about her boyfriend from Paris
That's been tough...
I like to dance the conga, she's more into the twist
It's been tough...
I say you're a rum and coke, she wants a wine list
And it's been tough...

She admires Kiarostami, I'm more into Jacques Tati
It's been tough...
I know 2 or 3 things, she already knows 4 or 5
And it's been tough...
She doesn't let me scratch when mosquitoes bite me
It's been tough...
She's the life of the party, I'm a boring man

And it's been tough...
I look at her and I'm amazed, afraid she'll get tired of me
It's been tough...
