7. So I Never Slept With Aeris

Note: This song, obviously, is written from the perspective of Cloud.

So I Never Slept With Aeris- A parody of 'So We Never Went To Paris' by Out Of The Grey

Verse One

Uncovered, without touch.
Favorite brother, that's what I've become.
Play it neutral in a different way,
shaking hands with not a thought we'd fall in love someday.

Bridge

Her time was up so quickly.
There's no more time to waste.
Between the waiting and the yearning,
this is my fate.

Chorus

So I never slept with Aeris,
now a happy memory.
But my Tifa holds a new world of fantasies.
Oh, I never wanted Yuffie,
but no one feels alone.
I have found a girl in Tifa, and I got the best of both.

Verse 2

There's still water in my eyes,
'Cause we saw each other on her final night.
What is neutral? That is not so clear.
Now the lesson is never be thrown by fear.

(Repeat Bridge and Chorus 2x)
