My boyfriend never calls me
And my husband’s working late
His dinner’s on the table
And the whips come out to play
The judge goes down crying, I guess
The vicar taught me well
Little girls with candy sticks
They’re gonna suck their way to hell
And he says, “god, throw me a hook here”
Do me a line dear
Make some commotion
And then tuck me into bed
What? What in the hell am I doing here?
Who? Who in the hell are you with my dear?
And the wine’s flowing nicely
Till my chandelier broke
The guests all started screaming
And they’re feeding me false hope
The streetlights are fading and
The velvet is ripped to scraps
I hope you all sleep sweetly as you’re
Laying in my bed and I say
"God, throw me a hook here"
Do me a line dear
Make some commotion
And then tuck me into bed
What? What in the hell am I doing here?
Who? Who in the hell are you with my dear?
And the stranger keeps on crying
And my piano starts to play
I saw a dreamer on the windowsill
Singing “I’m gonna fly away”
And the bells they keep on chiming
And the music is on too loud
If only you could see me now
I’m gonna make your mother proud
God, throw me a hook here
Do me a line dear
Make some commotion
And then tuck me into bed
What? What in the hell am I doing here?
Who? Who in the hell are you with my dear?
