Nellie Mckay - Beecharmer lyrics

(feat. Cyndi Lauper) [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...
