Lyrics

Now I really meant to get back to you
But I’m not the one who pulls the strings
And all would not fall through the cracks, it’s true
If not for this, that and the other thing
Now what I really meant is that I get torn
When the doorbell or the landline rings
I just feel our lives could be so much more
If it weren’t for this, that and the other thing
This, that, the other thing
You know what I’m on about
Oh, and another thing
It’s time that’s running out
If not for this, that and the other thing
This, that, the other thing
You know what I’m talkin’ 'bout
Oh, and another thing
It’s life that’s walking out
While your mind was clocking out
A new to-do list seems to be piling up
With the backlog that it always brings
All the loose ends, they would be tying up
If not for this, that and the other thing
This, that, the other thing
This, that, the other thing
This, that, the other thing
This, that, the other thing
