Nellie McKay - Bee Charmer lyrics

Hello Cindy 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 Cindy Lauper : And when he calls up to tell Now I'm gonna cry Nellie McKay : But I know you're mine When you're on the line Cindy Lauper : Is it something I said Nellie McKay : Would you let him walk away Cindy Lauper : Got it stuck in my head Nellie McKay : Don't you hear a word I say Cindy 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 Cindy Lauper : Is it something I said Nellie McKay : Would you let him walk away Cindy Lauper : Got it stuck in my head Nellie McKay : Don't you hear a word I say Cindy 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 Cindy Lauper : Hey ! Nellie McKay : Cast away romance Cindy Lauper : What's it gonna take Nellie McKay : No knights with shiny armor Cindy Lauper : Hey ! Nellie McKay : Try a different dance Oh, I'm a real bee charmer Cindy 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 Cindy Lauper : Is it something I said Nellie McKay : Would you let him walk away Cindy Lauper : I got it stuck in my head Nellie McKay : Don't you hear a word I say Cindy Lauper : Is it something I said Nellie McKay : Every night the same trombone It's ahhh, I'm waiting till my Joe comes home Cindy 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...
