A nice little housewife, who'll give me a steady life
And I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again,
And I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again,
And me in a suit but it just wasn't me,
And me in a suit but it just wasn't me,
And not keep going off the rails,
And not keep going off the rails,
And now your life's a mess, so insecure you see,
And take a look at my face, for the last time,
And take a look at my face, for the last time,
And take a look at my face, for the last time,
And to keep you secret it has been hell
And to keep you secret it has been hell
As for me, well, I'll find someone
Goodbye
Goodbye
I can see the make up slidin' down,
I can see the make up slidin' down,
I don't belong to you, you see,
I don't belong to you, you see,
I never knew you, you never knew me,
I never knew you, you never knew me,
I never knew you, you never knew me,
I put up with all the scenes,
I put up with all the scenes,
It was a kind of so so love
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello goodbye,
Say hello goodbye,
Say hello goodbye,
Say hello wave goodbye
Say hello, then wave goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
So take off that unbecoming frown,
So take off that unbecoming frown,
Standin' at the door of the Pink Flamingo cryin' in the rain,
Take your hands off me, hey,
Take your hands off me, hey,
Take your hands off me, hey,
Take your hands off me, hey, And not keep going off the rails,
Take your hands off me, hey, And not keep going off the rails,
This is one scene that's goin' to be played my way
Under the deep red light
Under the deep red light
We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt
We're strangers for the first time ok
We're strangers for the first time ok
We've been involved for, quite a while now
We've been involved for, quite a while now
Well, hey little girl you will always make up
Who's not goin' cheap in the sales,
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year,
You were a runaround, a lost and found and not for me, I feel,
You're used to wearing less,
