Now Jack is the mack and he comes around every 

Monday, oh Tuesday and Wednesday, 

Every day of the week 

And even though I try to tell you that I love you 

From the bottom of my heart 

You had no place for me, it was all vanity now 



Chorus 

You fell for one a them sweet lies 

The ones you don't want to believe in 

When your heart's not hearing 

What your brain is saying 

And you're weak in the knees 

Another sweet lie 

The kind you don't want to believe 

When the heart's in doubt you got to stay out 



Now the wine and the roses 

Stop coming around sometime ago 

But you won't admit that so, you pretend 

I know it's hard to look your best 

Wearing that same old shabby dress 

So you stay at home, waiting by the phone 



Chorus (repeat) 



Now it gives me no pleasure to say 

I told you so, it's been hard to keep it low 

Knowing the things I know 

Maybe in another place and in another time 

Under different circumstances 

You will find happiness so I suggest 

Don't take foolish chances no 



Now the wine and the roses 

Stop coming around sometime ago 

But you won't admit that so, you pretend 

It's hard to look your best 

Wearing that same old shabby dress 

So you stay at home, waiting by the phone 



Chorus...
