I don't ask for much

I really don't.

I just want him

To put the seat down

What are you talking about

'you don't ask for much'?

You ask for everything!

Well, i just want him

To put the seat down

When he goes

To the bathroom at night.

I go in there and i sit down

And it's cold and wet

And there's more hair

On his feet then on his head

No

I like the hairs on the floor what are they doing?

Oh

There's a shag carpet everyday

And this above the toilet.

What are they so tall

That they have to lean over? is it that heavy?

It's so heavy

Oh my god

Their only good for one thing

And we know what that is

What is that?

Don't tell me

I keep forgetting

Just play the guitar

He's still talking to me

About that vacation we took

He still wants the details.

Come on like

I can't take it anymore

What am i suppose to do?

Did you throw away the pictures?

Oh, those pictures!

If he saw those pictures

He'd have a heart attack!

Those guys were gorgeous

Oh were they ever

But he wants to know

'where did you go

Did you go to a bar

Did you dance close

Did you dance far?'

I know

'what were you wearing?'

Oh my god

'were they looking at you

Who danced with you

'did they come home with you?

Who drove you home?

Were they younger than me

Older than me

Did they treat you

Better than me?'

But you know what?

(oh god it was awful!)

I always tell him

'honey, just shut up

And play the guitar!'

Has he asked you

To play a hooker?

Ah...i can't believe

You're saying that

He does that to me

All the time!

(all the time)

They're all the same

It's sickening!

Hookers, lipstick

(big hair, tiny makeup

The sluty outfits)

Mascara, false eye-lashes.

The thing with the false eye-lashes!

Does he want you to shave?

The whole thing

Everything, dye things

Oh my, their all the same

I'm so sick of it

We're different

Women are so different

The only thing is

We wouldn't get paid for it

Oh god, well

They pay for it okay

In the long run?

Oh, in the short run

Because they just have

To play the guitar!

Do you find that

He always want's attention

It's (constantly)

Always him him him him him ?

Constant attention

I can't take it

He comes home

And he wants me to caress him

And tell him how great

He is and this and this

Shut up

I love you, i love you

You're the best

There is no one else

Like really

How many times am i supposed

To tell him that?

All i want to do is relax

Have a nice little drink

(shut up)

Give him a little hug

But it always leads

To something else

Yea, you can't just hug

You have to go on and on

And then the comes out

(it always turns sexual)

(just shut up)

Unbelievable

It just goes on and on and on

(just shut up shuttin' up).

Their only good

For one thing

Just play the guitar!

Shut up! ah, just shut up!

Man! shut up shuttin' up!

Shut up, shut, shut, shut it

Shut it all up. shut up... shuttin' up!
