I don't know what you must be on
You walked in like the Aga Khan
Did you fly in on a jet?
Win a million dollar bet?
So let me get my good shoes on

I wanna follow in the same old steps 
Where you waltz around like you're the best 
Where you garden blooms in May
But it's snowing every day
'Cause you have everything you want

You must be (you must be)
The Houdini in my life
But you can't see (you can't see)
I could never be your wife

'Cause I'm still a lady
No, I'm not some wench		          1)
That falls for your your lines
I'm not on the fence			         2)
Your routine is fading, boy
I could use a wrench			        3)
I know my words won't fail me		4)
Please excuse my French
(Pardonnez-moi)

Today you think you're Errol Flynn
Sharing stories where you think you've been 
Your style must be cramped 
Without a passport stamp
Can't you see the twister that you're in 
(I'm in a twister)

Why drown inside a sea of words
You're goin' under now, you won't get heard
So just give it a rest
This time your more is less
You're goin' solo in this dream

You must be (you must be)
The Houdini in my life (the Houdini in my life)
But you can't see (but you can't see)
I could never be your wife

'Cause I'm still a lady
No, I'm not some wench
That falls for your your lines
I'm not on the fence
Your routine is fading, boy
I could use a wrench
I know my words won't fail me
Please excuse my French
(Pardonnez-moi)
