Open Relationship Songtext
von Yes Darling

Hi
(Hey)
Are you, uh, (actually, um-), are you busy right now? I just have to tell I-
I really need to tell you something
(Actually I-yeah, but I had to tell you something actually, can I tell you this first? And then-) No, I-
I need to go first (no, this is really important, you can definitely tell me-)
Well, this is important too
And-and I think that (no, this is like-) you might not even wanna talk to me after I tell you this so
(I mean, that′s how I feel actually, this is, like, really) Oh, my God, okay

Alright, listen, why don't we just, why don′t we just say it at the same time, okay?
If it's that important, count to three, we'll say it
(At the same time?) Yes
Count to three, here we go (okay, count to four)
Count- why would we count to four?
(It-it′s music, we′re in four-four time-) We are not in four-four time, this is six-eight time
(Just count to four) Uh, fine
One, two, three, four


I've been cheating on you
(Don′t tell me everything) Tell me everything
(I don't wanna know) Well, I wanna know
Who it was, where you went, what you did
How you spent time forgetting about me
After all the time that we spent, breaking love and fixing it
How could you make it without me?

Let′s call it even
Even if we've been stepping out
(I′m still in, if you're still in) Oh, God, I don't know
But how could we make it? (Look, everything changes)
(And I′m willing to do anything it takes to save this) Alright, what do you have in mind?

(How about an open relationship? You know, like Debbie and Steve)
What? Wait, no, honey, Debbie, they′re weird
(It's not that weird, there are rules they adhere to, they don′t just do everyone that they see)
(And they say it helps to work things out)
Well, I'll need some time to think about it all
But it could be a ball

I′ve been sleeping with Steve (I've been sleeping with Debbie)
(Don′t tell me everything) Tell me everything
(I don't wanna know) Well, I wanna know
How it was, where you went, what you did
Whether it all felt better without me
After weeks of this, must admit, rather enjoying it
My, our relationship's healthy


We′re in an open relationship
It′s all good
It's not that weird, there are rules we adhere to, we don′t just do everything that we could
I promise it's cool and trust was earned
(I′ll see her soon on my return)
Wasn't it rules that built the Berlin Wall?
Here comes the fall

I′ve been sleeping with you
Now we talk about things that we never used to touch
Now you do that thing with your tongue I like so much
God, I love you
Who taught you that move?
I've been sleeping with Shannon
(Tell me everything) No
(Come one, I wanna know) Seems you already know (I wanna know)

How she's been so much fun
How she looks when she comes into the room wearing nothing
It′s really quite marvelous since (never felt like this) what?
(We have it all with our love and this dog) Wait, what do you mean, "It′s never felt like this?"
(And it all seems so glorious) What did it feel like?
(Darling just think of it) Wait, think of what?
(Perfect lives, perfect jobs, perfect lips, perfect tits) Oh no, perfect tits? (We figured it out)
Oh, God
I feel uneasy
Do you think we've been greedy? (Nope, and I′m still in if you're still in)

We′re in an open relationship
It's all good
It′s not that weird, there are rules we adhere to, we don't just do everything that we could
(And it's the things that we choose that make us glad)
Yes, but some things we do, we can′t take back (like what?)
It′s the summer of no rules and my, we've had a ball
But here comes the fall
