You know I think it’s kind of funny
The way it started
The way it started off with you and me
You know I think it’s kind of funny too the way
How pretty damn soon pretty damn sure pretty damn cool
Everything’s turned out to be
Neither of us could have known
What was going to happen
Neither of us had a clue
But neither of us was surprised when things did happen
The way they did
And because the first kiss felt nice we saw it through
But we said no pressure
No birthday cards no roses
No “Honey I’m sorry I’ll be late tonight”
No break-ups and no make-ups
We just wanted to keep it light
We didn’t want all the hassle
And we didn't want all that stress
No tearful “Good-bye, I love you”
No we just didn’t want the mess
So we said no pressure

So after that we somehow managed
To have a pretty nice low key on and off sexual affair
We had a lot of fun in bed we laughed a lot
And when I woke up in the mornings
I didn’t mind
I didn’t mind seeing you there
No relationships no dependence
No “Baby I miss you” no jealous fits
No romantic candlelight dinners
No security and all that shit

We didn’t want to give up our freedom
we didn’t want to be tied to the ground
So we agreed not to fall in love
But just to shag the whole year round
And we said no pressure

Then finally yesterday you stood me up
And I sat waiting like a fool
Pathetic stupid little wretch
I waited half the night for you to show
And when you didn’t turn up
I took myself off
To my plain cold lonely boring bed
Part of me can believe it didn’t matter
Part of me can pretend
But the other half of me just knows it better
And that other half or rather more of me just wants to end
All that stupid no pressure
You know I still don’t like the roses and I abhor the candlelight
But yes bloody hell I miss you
And I do want to see you tonight
Yes I know our agreement is not to
But I’m all for breaking the rules
Let’s see if we can make this work
And I’m sure we can keep things cool
If we stick to no pressure
