Enid Lyrics - Gordon - Barenaked Ladies

The silence, the terror, the pain, the horror 

As your mom comes downstairs 

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway 

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway 

It took me a year to believe it was over 

It took me two more to get over the loss, whoa-whoa 

I took a beating when you wrote me those letters 

And every time I remembered the taste of your lip gloss 

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway 

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway 

Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway 

But, Enid, we never really knew each other anyway 

There were times when I wanted to hurt you 

And there were times when I know that I did, whoa-whoa 

There were times when I thought I would kill you 

But can you blame me, I was only a kid

Now tell me why we never really respected each other 

And tell me why I never believed that you were a person, too 

I always thought that you fancied my brother 

I may not have liked it 

Oh, but memory is a strange thing 

Oh, and, Enid 

Enid, I remember you 

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway 

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway 

Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway 

But, Enid, we never really knew each other anyway 

It took me a year to believe it was over 

Oooo, and it took me two more to get over the loss, whoa-whoa 

I took a beating when you wrote me those letters 

And every time you told me to get lost 

Photos 

Now it's not fair to say that it's 'cause I was three inches shorter then 

And it's not fair to say that it's 'cause I was only fifteen years old 

But maybe it's fair to say there was a lack of communication 

I took a phone message, oh, and speaking of communication 

Oh, and, Enid 

Enid, you caught a cold 

I can get a job, I can pay the phone bills 

I can cut the lawn, cut my hair, cut out my cholesterol 

I can work overtime, I can work in a mine 

I can do it all for you 

But I don't want to 

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway 

I can teach you how to dance, how to sing, how to knit 

How to make things that you never ever made before 

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway 

Enid, I can teach you how to use cookie cutters 

To make crazy things out of Play-Doh 

Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway 

Little houses, little farms, little accessories for your mom 

For your Barbie set, for your friends and your family 

But, Enid, we really never knew each other anyway 

Enid, I can teach you how to snowmobile, cross-country ski, snowshoe 

But I don't want to 

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway 

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway 

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
