[Verse 1]
We've been around forever
Look at us now together
Ordering drinks at the bar
Saying hello to man friends
Smiling across a friends' friends
Ordering drinks at the bar
[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You look first, then stare
And once in a while
A smile, if you dare
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
We'll stand around forever
Regardless of time or weather
Ordering drinks at the bar
Looking for love, and getting
Nothing that's worth regretting
But wondering why we travel so far
[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You look first, then stare
And once in a while
A smile, if you dare
[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You'd better beware
But once in a while
A smile, if you dare
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You look first, then stare
And once in a while
A smile, if you dare
[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You'd better beware
But once in a while
A smile, if you dare
We've been around forever
Look at us now together
Ordering drinks at the bar
Saying hello to man friends
Smiling across a friends' friends
Ordering drinks at the bar
[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You look first, then stare
And once in a while
A smile, if you dare
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
We'll stand around forever
Regardless of time or weather
Ordering drinks at the bar
Looking for love, and getting
Nothing that's worth regretting
But wondering why we travel so far
[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You look first, then stare
And once in a while
A smile, if you dare
[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You'd better beware
But once in a while
A smile, if you dare
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You look first, then stare
And once in a while
A smile, if you dare
[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You'd better beware
But once in a while
A smile, if you dare
