Fall Out Boy - Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet Lyrics

Mr. Sandman showing his beam, when he walks into the room the walls lean in to listen
Surf out blank waves, clicking back and forth like old headlights, sniffing bottled you again.
Headlights a steel trap, wish I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I don't...
Just want to be a footnote in someone else's happiness.

Does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?
Does he know the way, does he know the way of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night?

I will never end up like him
Behind my back, I already am.
Keep a calendar, this way you will always know.

The last time you came through,
Oh darling, I know what you're going through.
The last time you came through,
Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling...

Tempest in a teacup,
Get unique.
Peroxide Princess shine like shark teeth
It's a sign, (it's a sign)
It's a sign, (it's a sign)
It's a sign, what if you peaked early.

Does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?
Does he know the way, does he know the way of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night?

Does he, does he know the way to worship our love?
Does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?

Well, I will never end up like him.
Behind my back, I already am.
Keep a calendar, this way you will always know.

Last time you came through,
Oh darling, I know what you're going through.
Last time you came through,
Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling...

Does your husband know? Does your husband know? Does your husband know? Oh oh oh, whoa-oh...
Does he know? Does he know, does he know? Whoa-ah-ah-ah-ah, oh oh, oh

I will never end up like him.
Behind my back I already am.
Keep a calendar, this way you will always know.

Oh, the last time you came through,
Oh darling, I know what you're going through.
The last time you came through,
Oh, darling I know what you're going through.

Song Information

Where the name of the song cames from ?
This song was originally titled "Does Your Husband Know?" according to an MTV article. Presumably, the title of the song refers to former Major League Baseball player Pete Rose, known for sliding headfirst into bases. Rose was blackballed from baseball due to a betting scandal while managing the Cincinnati Reds and will likely be kept out of the Hall of Fame, located in Cooperstown, N.Y., because of it.
