Martha wainwright question of etiquette lyrics

Met you for the first time late last week

Came to dinner, it could've been bleak

But I held back

Held myself on track



Question of etiquette

Or maybe just regret



Noticed your blond hair

Your blue eyes too

I might have seemed quiet, a little shrewd

I didn't wanna touch you

You seemed so new

But you looked just like me

Eighteen years ago



Now I don't know where your mommy met my daddy

It doesn't matter, it might be shady

But I like you, maybe you'll like me

And we can pretend that we are a family



I live up North with my Mom

Somewhere that your new Daddy's not around

But you can't blame the situation on your parent's intuition

And you're not a fool

You're only two



There's another one, oh in fact two

For altogether Daddy's really good

We got a sister named Lucy

And her momma's really pretty

And we all love each other

And one day, you too



I got a brother you might want to meet

He can be yours, it's really kinda neat

I hope my mother doesn't pull a fit

She always thinks this stuff is bullshit

There'll be Christmas & holidays

Weddings & funerals



Met you for the first time late last week

You came to dinner, it could've been bleak

But I held back

Held myself on track



Question of etiquette

Or maybe just regret
