Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I missed you it's so good to see you

outside the oval hallways I know this

place just isn't quite as conducive to

the drop in you could say that again

well no tell me start what well I Wish I

Was Here on a social

visit yesterday Aaron asked me if I knew

a Jeffrey

Meyers what why well you two dated and

now he's serving time in federal prison

but that was almost two decades ago why

is he rooting around in that he's just

doing his job opposition research most

likely but a good Chief of Staff wants

to get ahead of anything that could hurt

the president sure but uh Tom knows

everything I mean it couldn't even touch

him good I'll talk to Aaron no thank you

but I got it don't even think about it

I'll talk to him myself

Mrs

Kirkman I'm sorry I didn't expect

anybody in so late I hear you've been

asking around about Jeffrey

Meyers well Emily's got a better poke

her face than we

thought she said it came up in your

opposition

research yeah so you know we had a

relationship and you know he's in prison

I

do and so do

Tom every

detail it is not a personal issue for us

so I don't see why it should be a

political

one it shouldn't be except Jeffrey Meers

has been telling everyone and his

federal prison in Pennsylvania that he's

the father of your

son ma'am

this

Kirkman

mambas does Liam

know that the president might not be his

father
