Common-Law Emergency Contact

Here we are babe, we made it

We beat the odds, we cleared the bar

They said it couldn't be done

They said we'd never get this far

But love's a mysterious power

Love's a miraculous beast

Love can move many mountains

and there's hope for the middle east

Coz here we stand in our fuzzy slippers

for all the world to see

That i can put up with you

and you can tolerate me

The calendar says it's true

I think your mom had a heart attack

Here we are, me and you

I'm your common-law emergency contact

When you're by my side

how the weeks do fly

Other lovers fade so fast

Do they really even try

For love's a mysterious power

Love's a miraculous beast

Love can move many mountains

and there's hope for the middle east

Coz here we stand in our fuzzy slippers

for all the world to see

That i can put up with you

and you can tolerate me

The calendar says it's true

I think your mom had a heart attack

Here we are, me and you

I'm your common-law emergency contact

Is it love or laziness

that keeps our lives entwined

We're not getting any younger

I might be the best you'll find

People ask us our secret

What it is between you and me

We tell 'em it's one part humor

And three parts apathy

For love's a mysterious power

Love's a miraculous beast

Love can truly move mountains

and there's hope for the middle east

Coz here we stand in our fuzzy slippers

for all the world to see

That i can put up with you

and you can tolerate me

The calendar says it's true

I think your mom had a heart attack

Here we are, me and you

I'm your common-law emergency contact
