Song Lyrics

(feat. Cyndi Lauper)

[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 try

[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

[Cindy 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

[Cyndi 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 !

[Nellie McKay:]
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...
