Bee Charmer

Hello

Cyndi Lauper :

Sewed everything you said

Together in a thread

Repeating in my mind

Each word like a rhyme

Like a penny serenade

Looking through his song

He said the record's overplayed

But where did I go wrong

Nellie McKay :

You never stayed at first

Could not commit the time

Ignored all the quirks

But he still did the crime

And when he goes away

I know you'll call and cry

Cyndi Lauper :

And when he calls up to tell

Now I'm gonna cry

Nellie McKay :

But I know you're mine

When you're on the line

Cyndi Lauper :

Is it something I said

Nellie McKay :

Would you let him walk away

Cyndi Lauper :

Got it stuck in my head

Nellie McKay :

Don't you hear a word I say

Cyndi Lauper :

Is it something I said

Nellie McKay :

Every night the same old moan

It's ahhh, I'm waiting till my Joe comes home

Everytime he asks me how I feel

When I tell him, the phone goes dead

Nellie McKay :

I'm the queen of QVC

You're leaning on my ear

You mean the world to me

Though the connection isn't clear

Like my ink sputs 78's

Convenient when you're low

Cyndi Lauper :

Feel like an antelope on a nature show

Oh no!

I guess I gotta go

Nellie McKay :

But I know you're mine

When you're on the line

Cyndi Lauper :

Is it something I said

Nellie McKay :

Would you let him walk away

Cyndi Lauper :

Got it stuck in my head

Nellie McKay :

Don't you hear a word I say

Cindy Lauper :

Is it something I said

Nellie McKay :

Everytime we're on the phone

It's ahhh, I'm waiting till my Joe comes home

Cyndi Lauper :

Hey !

Cyndi Lauper :

Cast away romance

Cyndi Lauper :

What's it gonna take

Nellie McKay :

No knights with shiny armor

Cyndi Lauper :

Hey !

Nellie McKay :

Try a different dance

Oh, I'm a real bee charmer

Cyndi Lauper :

Well I scold and I scratched to make him stay

But he don't wanna know from me

Why that old alley cat, he runs away

Nellie McKay :

Lock the door and lose the key

Cyndi Lauper :

Is it something I said

Nellie McKay :

Would you let him walk away

Cyndi Lauper :

I got it stuck in my head

Nellie McKay :

Don't you hear a word I say

Cyndi Lauper :

Is it something I said

Nellie McKay :

Every night the same trombone

It's ahhh, I'm waiting till my Joe comes home

Cyndi Lauper :

Hey !

Nellie McKay :

Let's forget romance

Let's correct romance

With knights in shiny armor

What's it gonna take

Try a different dance

Oh, I'm a real bee charmer...
