"Short Term Affair" lyrics - BJORK

[Tony Ferrino:]
It's a short time affair
You're my children's au-pair
But I just couldn't bear

[Both:]
To keep my hands off you

[Bjork:]
I was barely eighteen
What you did was obscene
But to me it felt clean

[Both:]
What else was I to do?

[Tony Ferrino:]
The memory still lingers
You're cooking the kids fish-fingers
And ironing

[Bjork:]
Each morning you'd come down
In your paisley dressing gown
Then you sing
And the yearning started for a short-time affair

[Tony Ferrino:]
No intention to stray

[Bjork:]
I was caught in your snare

[Tony Ferrino:]
But my wife was awake

[Bjork:]
It was so debonaire

[Tony Ferrino:]
So I thought what the heck

[Both:]
I knew I couldn't resist

[Tony Ferrino:]
It was a short time affait

[Bjork:]
You're the man you're the boss

[Tony Ferrino:]
When I find you right there

[Bjork:]
Like the father I lost

[Tony Ferrino:]
Clean our silver-ware

[Bjork:]
So to hell with the cost

[Both:]
Right then at once we kissed

[Bjork:]
You took me to the kitchen, you're hands kinda started twitchin', felt so shy

[Tony Ferrino:]
Nothing could stop what followed, lucky for me you swallowed

[Bjork:]
I know it's all over now

[Tony Ferrino:]
Try to be strong somehow

[Bjork:]
I start a brand new life

[Tony Ferrino:]
Please, please don't tell my wife

[Bjork:]
I won't stop loving you

[Tony Ferrino:]
Please, please don't tell my wife

[Bjork:]
Au revoir, ciao, auf wiedersehen

[Tony Ferrino:]
We must never meet again

[Bjork:]
Short time affair, heeeeeee aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ooooooooooooooo

[Tony Ferrino:]
Short time affair , eeeeee oooooooooooo
