When I go swimming
In your intellect
The water's so shallow
And the dialect is so phony
But I eat it up like bologna
I can't get enough

Well, I should end it
But I defend it
Well, I can't comprehend it
'Cause I'm your co-dependent

When you go fishing
For a compliment
It's so, so obvious
And I can't help it
So I put up with it
'Cause you're my habit
And I just can't quit

I should end it
But I defend it
Well, I keep on pretendin'
'Cause I'm your co-dependent

The world keeps spinnin'
Lucifer keeps sinnin'
The joker keeps grinnin'
But I need a new beginning

Well, I should end it
But I defend it
Well, I don't recommend it
'Cause I'm your co-dependent
Well, I should end it
But I defend it
Well, I can't comprehend it

Baby, be my co-dependent
