sewed everything he said
together in a thread
repeatin in my mind
each word like a rhyme
like a penny serenade
liltin through a song
he says the records overplayed
where did i go wrong
he 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
and when he calls back today
i know i'm gonna try
but i know you're mine
when you're on the line
is it somethin i said
won'tcha let him walk away
got it stuck in my head
don'tcha hear a word i say
is it somethin i said
every night the same old moan it's
eeieeieee
am waitin till my joe comes home
i'm the queen of qvc
you're leanin on my ear
you mean the world to me
though the connection isn't clear
like my inkspot seventh-eights
convenient when you're low
feel like an antelope on a nature show
i guess i gotta go
but i know you're mine
when you're on the line
is it somethin i said
won'tcha let him walk away
got it stuck in my head
don'tcha hear a word i say
is it somethin i said
every time we're on the phone it's
eeieeieee
am waitin till my joe comes home
hey
castaway romance
what's it gonna take
no knights with shiny armor
hey
try a different dance
oh i'm a real beecharmer
well i scold and i scratch to make him stay
but he don't wanna know from me
why that old alley cat he runs away
lock the door and lose the key
is it somethin i said
won'tcha let him walk away
i got it stuck in my head
don'tcha hear a word i say
is it somethin i said
every night the same trombone it's
eeieeieee
am waitin till my joe comes home
hey
last car wreck romance
what's it gonna take
no nights with shiny armor
hey
try a different dance
oh i'm a real beecharmer
