Intro: |
|
Now Jack is the mack and he comes around every Monday, |
|
oh Tuesday and Wednesday, |
|
Every day of the week |
|
And even though I try to tell you that I love you from the bottom of my heart |
|
You had no place for me, |
|
It's all vanity now |
|
Chorus: |
|
You fell for one a them sweet lies |
|
The ones you don't want to believe in |
|
When your heart's not hearing |
|
What your brain is saying |
|
And you're weak in the knees |
|
Another sweet lie |
|
The kind you don't want to believe |
|
When the heart's in doubt you got to stay out |
|
Verse 1: |
|
Now the wine and the roses |
|
Stop coming around sometime ago |
|
But you won't admit that so, you pretend |
|
I know it's hard to look your best |
|
Wearing that same old shabby dress |
|
So you stay at home, waiting by the phone |
|
Repeat Chorus |
|
Verse 2: |
|
Now it gives me no pleasure to say I told you so, |
|
It's been hard to keep it low |
|
Knowing the things I know |
|
Maybe in another place and in another time |
|
Under different circumstances |
|
You will find happiness, so I suggest |
|
Don't take foolish chances no |
|
Repeat Verse 3: |
|
Repeat Chorus |
