Nellie McKay - Beecharmer lyrics

Your rating:

(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...
