Nellie McKay, Cyndi Lauper - Beecharmer lyrics

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

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
And when he calls up to tell
Now I'm gonna cry

But, I know you're mine
When you're on the line
Is it something I said
Would you let him walk away
Got it stuck in my head
Don't you hear a word I say
Is it something I said
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
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
Feel like an antelope on a nature show
Oh, no! I guess I gotta go

But, I know you're mine
When you're on the line
Is it something I said
Would you let him walk away
Got it stuck in my head
Don't you hear a word I say
Is it something I said
Everytime we're on the phone
It's ahhh, I'm waiting till my Joe comes home
Hey!

Cast away romance what's it gonna take
No knights with shiny armor hey!

Try a different dance
Oh, I'm a real bee charmer
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
Lock the door and lose the key
Is it something I said
Would you let him walk away

I got it stuck in my head
Don't you hear a word I say
Is it something I said
Every night the same trombone
It's ahhh, I'm waiting till my Joe comes home
Hey! 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
