you have so many relationships in this life,

only one or two will last

you go through all this pain and strife

then you turn your back and they're gone so fast

in the end they'll be the only ones there

okay, if you don't know this song, then...well, i don't know what to tell you, you have a lot of catching up to do with the music of the 90's, but that's okay, you're here, and that's a start...tay sings the lead with the other two singing background. the 3 car garage version is much slower, and the words are slightly different. oh yeah, and for those of you that are wondering, an mmmbop is a frame of time -- "in an mmmbop they're gone." *note -- the words vary with each version of the song, so i did my best to combine them here:)
