Ennis bought the girls a swing set
I guess all the bills were met


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

I guess all the bills were met
Sometimes he pushed them way up high

I guess all the bills were met
Sometimes he pushed them way up high
So high they thought they'd touch the sky

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

He knew what that felt like, you bet

Her beloved Jack, for him she would pray

A symbol of Jack's love, even in the face of Ennis' fears
