[Verse 1]
Come on, I've not finished waiting
Don't be hasty, don't be hasty
It's not that I am too patient
You're my lady, you're my lady
A cold reply
Just your type
That didn't come from me right
You should lend me some time, you can say your goodbyes

[Chorus]
Just by the skin of your teeth
Will we ever know if we got it right?
Just by the skin of your teeth
Could we be so bold as to out the light?

[Verse 2]
You couldn't stomach an entrée
I ordered anyway, ordered anyway
You joke about using payWave
Don't carry change, God, did you change?
World seems fine
Actions mine
Did I repeat your line?
All my goodness becomes genuine
[Chorus]
Just by the skin of your teeth
Would we ever know if we got it right?
Just by the skin of your teeth
Could we be so bold as to out the light?

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
I ain't in love, baby
Hope that message came printed black and white
Glory be to chasing
Glory be to change if you think I might
Oh-oh, it's hateful, I know
When I'm so good for nothing
And you're saintly, oh
You don't sell it though

[Chorus]
We got out just by the skin of our teeth
Will we ever know if we got it right?
Yeah, just by the skin of our teeth
Could we be so bold as to out the light?
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

[Outro]
I ain't in love, baby
Know that message came printed black and white
Yeah, you can never hope to change me
Food is getting cold but I got red wine
Just by the skin of your teeth
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, just by the skin of your teeth
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
