Enid - Barenaked Ladies

The silence, the terror, the pain, the horror

As your mom comes downstairs

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway

It took me a year to believe it was over

It took me two more to get over the loss, whoa-whoa

I took a beating when you wrote me those letters

And every time I remembered the taste of your lip gloss

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway

Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway

But, Enid, we never really knew each other anyway

There were times when I wanted to hurt you

And there were times when I know that I did, whoa-whoa

There were times when I thought I would kill you

But can you blame me, I was only a kid

Now tell me why we never really respected each other

And tell me why I never believed that you were a person, too

I always thought that you fancied my brother

I may not have liked it

Oh, but memory is a strange thing

Oh, and, Enid

Enid, I remember you

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway

Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway

But, Enid, we never really knew each other anyway

It took me a year to believe it was over

Oooo, and it took me two more to get over the loss, whoa-whoa

I took a beating when you wrote me those letters

And every time you told me to get lost

Now it's not fair to say that it's 'cause I was three inches shorter then

And it's not fair to say that it's 'cause I was only fifteen years old

But maybe it's fair to say there was a lack of communication

I took a phone message, oh, and speaking of communication

Oh, and, Enid

Enid, you caught a cold

I can get a job, I can pay the phone bills

I can cut the lawn, cut my hair, cut out my cholesterol

I can work overtime, I can work in a mine

I can do it all for you

But I don't want to

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway

I can teach you how to dance, how to sing, how to knit

How to make things that you never ever made before

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway

Enid, I can teach you how to use cookie cutters

To make crazy things out of Play-Doh

Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway

Little houses, little farms, little accessories for your mom

For your Barbie set, for your friends and your family

But, Enid, we really never knew each other anyway

Enid, I can teach you how to snowmobile, cross-country ski, snowshoe

But I don't want to

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
