Dog Day Afternoon

I finished watchin' dog day afternoon
Stormed out of a house unfamiliar to you
To go and find some way to show to you
I'm miserable without you near
A semi-automatic would work
I'm sure I've never even used one of these before
But it seems to demonstrate to them
How crazy were in love for all of time
(you just don't know it yet)
I want you to know
I've never believed a word that you said
When your sayin' its for the best
I'm sayin' let's take a rest
Our loves better off dead
I waited by the phone
To see if demands were going to be met
At the mayors hands
Cuz surely you would call
And say "Oh baby your so brave"
Then I'd hang up
I would execute the first
Then the next
Till the last
And wait for you to make some grand entrance
But make love in the vault
Locked away sirens sound
But that's okay cause I'll let 'em come
I want you to know
I never believe a word that you said
If you said it's for the best
Well I'm sayin' lets take a rest
Our loves better off dead
Everything that I have done
Well I have done to you
Promise you wont be mad at me
For doing what I have to do to
You close your eyes an smile
Wide were getting out of here
Promise you won't be mad
No you won't no no
I still want you to know
I never believed a word you said
If you said it for the best
Well I'm sayin let's take a rest
Out loves dead oh no
Your sayin it's for the best
Your better off
Your better off
Your better off
If sayin' it's for the best
I'm sayin' lets take a rest
Our loves better off dead oh no
