Billy Joel - Laura lyrics
[Billy Joel - Laura lyrics]
Laura calls me in the middle of the night
Passes on her fateful information
Then these careless fingers
They get caught in her vise
Till they're bleeding on my coffee table
Living alone isn't all that it's
Cracked up to be oh, oh, oh
I'm on her side
Why does she push the poison on me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Laura has a very hard time all her life has
Been one long disaster then she tells me
She suddenly believes
She's seen a very good sign she'll be taking
Some aggressive action
I fight her wars while she's slamming
Her doors in my face oh, oh, oh
Failure to break was the only
Mistake that she made oh, oh, oh, oh
Here I am feeling like a fucking fool
Do I react the way exactly she intends me to?
Every time I think I'm off the hook
She makes me lose my cool i'm her machine
And she can punch all the keys
She can push any button
I was programmed through
Laura calls me
When she needs a good fix (ah)
All her questions
Will get sympathetic answers
I should be so immunized
To all of her tricks (ah) she's surviving
On her second chances
Sometimes I feel like this godfather
Deal is all wrong oh, oh, oh
How can she hold an umbilical
Chord for so long? Oh, oh, oh, oh
I've done everything I can
What else am I supposed to do?
I'm her machine
And she can punch all the keys
She can push any button
I was programmed through
Laura (Laura) loves me (loves me)
Even if I don't care that's my problem
That's her sacred absolution if she had to
She would put herself in my chair
(self in my chair, ah)
Even though I faced electrocution
She always says I'm the best
Friend that she's ever had oh, oh, oh
How do you hang up on someone
Who needs you that bad? Oh, oh, oh, oh
Passes on her fateful information
Then these careless fingers
They get caught in her vise
Till they're bleeding on my coffee table
Living alone isn't all that it's
Cracked up to be oh, oh, oh
I'm on her side
Why does she push the poison on me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Laura has a very hard time all her life has
Been one long disaster then she tells me
She suddenly believes
She's seen a very good sign she'll be taking
Some aggressive action
I fight her wars while she's slamming
Her doors in my face oh, oh, oh
Failure to break was the only
Mistake that she made oh, oh, oh, oh
Here I am feeling like a fucking fool
Do I react the way exactly she intends me to?
Every time I think I'm off the hook

And she can punch all the keys
