Put me in your pocket now, put me in your dress 
I will remain the one you love best 
Don't try to rip me up 
If I hurt you when 
Everything is fowled up at the end 

Let me always stay now 
Laughing as you say, "How 
Do I always look like I'm in pain?" 
And you always get your finger in the frame 

Put me in your bottom drawer under old exams 
There I will be always your cheating hand 
Don't try to send me back in some maudlin phase 
What has developed here you can't erase 

Let me always stay now 
Laughing as you say, "How 
Do I always look like I'm in pain?" 
And you always get your finger in the frame 

And maybe all the fights will never happen 
Maybe nothing's going to change 
Maybe I'll be always laughing 
Nothing standing in the way 
Nothing clouding up the future 
Not the faintest threat of rain 
Nothing clouding up the picture 
But a finger in the frame 

So put me in the pocket of this very dress 
And I will remain the one you love best 

And I will always stay now 
Laughing as you say, "How 
Do I always look like I'm in pain?" 
And you will always have your finger in the frame
