Hi! Nice to see you
C'mon in, c'mon in
Sorry the place is a mess
Need an ashtray?
Drink some coffee, some coffee
I know you've been upset. What I mean is...
Maybe a part of your problem is simply, you were teased
I know what you'd like
but the good stuff promised
Is hard fought and not for free
Get tough, don't be so patient
Get smart, head up, shoulders straight
Since when is it a disaster?
If the "S" on your cape is a little frayed?
What's a girl to do?
Born to shop? No! Pretty victories
What's a girl to do?
Scream &. screw? No! Pretty victories
Go out jumpin' with your dumplin'; your dumplin',
Go wheelin' with your pet
Never worry even a bit, just a bit
If there're any good ones left...use your credit
At the boybank, the boybank if those you've
bounced, you've broke
Spit out the F-word, like a shotgun
A shot gun, if they can't take a Joke!
Get tough, don't be so patient
Get smart, head up, shoulders straight
Since when is it a disaster?
If the "S" on your cape is a little frayed?
Starting to see what I mean?
Nice things
Nice things
Oh oh oh
So many nice things
As your biggest fan
I want you to have them
Nice things
Nice things
Oh oh oh
So many nice things
Don't mean nothing, if they're dumping
Things that sting on you!
Don't take that, honey.
Don't work your buns off, for a fool, for a fool
Who can barely tie his shoes
Don't answer phone calla, that old boyfriend Old boy friend
who'd love to see you lose
(You don't need that!)
When your girlfriend, your girlfriend, falls
For all those creeps
Can you tell her? Take the cure,
Take the cure, love is obsolete? (Maybe)
Starting to see what I mean'?
Sure, stop by anytime
Will yesterday be better?
I think you'll do just fine!
