she’s engaged to an industry man
got an old red controlled and a brand new sedan
im on hold with Con Edison
the space heater went dead again
She played the cop,i played the martyr
she got the rock,i rocked the party
she got the credit,and i got carded
i have hardly grown up since you met me
i might never grow up if you let me
and if i had to do it all over,well i’d do it again
i’d come runnin’ right back to all the trouble im in
because i have hardly grown up since you met me
i never learn but i like to pretend
cuz i got lots of company in my circle of friends
she never calls but she never forgets
she’s got a secret tatoo with my home adress
she told the truth,i told a story
she got the goods,i got the glory
she’s never wrong and i’m never sorry
(chorus)
sometimes i wish i could be more like you are
and sometime you wishe you could be more like me
you got that look in your eye and that kick in your teeth
you got the answer on the tip of your tounge
you got an itchy trigger finger and your pointin’ at me
with the barrel of a loaded gun
wow!
(instrumental break)
she’s gone away and she’ll never return
cuz’ i never met a bridge that i couldn’t burn
(chorus)
