Lyrics Shall We Sing a Duet? - Stephin Merritt

Shall We Sing a Duet?

Say, shall we sing a duet?
Say it’s not over yet
Say it’s not just the wine
Say you’ll always be mine
Say that’s not just a line
Shall we sing a duet?
Say you’ll always be mine
Say that’s not just a line
Shall we sing a duet?
Take all my sorrow away
Bring me tomorrow today
Teach me to borrow this clay from time
To take all my sorrows away
Bring me tomorrow today
Say you’ll always be mine
Say it’s not over yet
I’ve been waiting
Shall we sing a duet?
And intertwine, like ivy
Twisting and tangled?
Shall we sing a duet?
I’ve been waiting all of my life
Say it’s not just a line
Shall we sing a duet?
I can’t wait to make you my wife
And intertwine like ivy
Twisting and tangled
Say it’s not over yet
I’ve been waiting all of my life
Any attempt at harmony
Hopelessly mangled
Take all my sorrow away
Bring me tomorrow today
Teach me to borrow this clay from time
To take all my sorrows away
Bring me tomorrow today
Say you’ll always be mine
Say it’s not over yet
I’ve been waiting
Shall we sing a duet?
And intertwine, like ivy
Twisting and tangled?
Shall we sing a duet?
I’ve been waiting all of my life
Say it’s not just a line
Shall we sing a duet?
And, intertwine like ivy
Twisting and tangled
Shall we sing a duet?
Take all my sorrow away
And interwtine, like ivy
Twisitng and tangled
Teach me to take all my sorrow away
Shall we sing a duet?
