You came and went away Left me wide-eyed wondering what I know Like rain, you crept away Left me high and dry on down the road And I'm waiting for the punchline But I've been here for seven days
It's a shameful price to pay Then I wasn't, was still dead and broke The way I feel today Makes me wonder if life is truly a joke Well I'm waiting for the punchline And I've been here for seven days I'm waiting for the puncline And I've been here for seven days
My daddy told me about the likes of you My mama told me about the likes of you My preacher told me about the likes of you I tried to tell myself about the likes of you
Sometimes I wonder how You do the things you do and sleep at night The lines are clearly drawn And so is you and you are always right And I'm waiting for the punchline But I've been here for seven days
Sometimes I roll the dice You pack your bags and steal away the night And I will always know The way you lie and it will be your life And I'm waiting for the puncline But I've been here for seven days And I'm waiting for the punchline But I've been here for seven days
My daddy told me about the likes of you My mama told me about the likes of you My preacher told me about the likes of you I tried to tell myself about the likes of you
I'm fascinated with people who live their lives in chains I've always hated the way you lie and play a high fast game And if I waited, would my life be such a cryin' shame? I'm fascinated with the life of lies and shame
My daddy told me about the likes of you My mama told me about the likes of you My preacher told me about the likes of you I tried to tell myself about the likes of you
My daddy told me about the likes of you My mama told me about the likes of you My preacher told me about the likes of you I tried to tell myself about the likes of you
