Oh
There's a look on her face
She's starting to master
As she carefully closes the door
She's been coming home late
With prepackaged answers
To questions she tries to avoid
Now she's talking too fast And I just have to ask
Baby what's all the clunk and dagger for?
Okay, here's the truth I ran out of gas
And I didn't call cause I thought you'd be mad
So I started to walk Took an hour and a half
To get off that highway and fill up that
can I was hoping that you'd understand
She's getting good with the lines So good that you wonder
If the rabbit in the hat tricks for real She turns water into wine
And I'd almost believe her If her eyes just for once could keep still
Now my patience wears thin Cause she's late once again
Baby tell me what delayed you this time?
Okay here's the truth It's gonna sound kinda strange
But I took a new way home from work for a change
It started out fine Till I got to Route 9
Went in now the wrong way before I
realized I'm sorry I ruined all your plans
I was hoping that you'd understand
And now watching her secretly talking
It is just about all I can
bear Now I know why she's been wearing more makeup
And caring
so much about
changing her hair
Telephone vibrates on the table again
Another damn private call coming through
Now she's visibly shaking
And I just feel like taking that phone
Throwing it clear across the room She answers hello
The man's voice I don't know Says
it's time that you tell him the truth
I can't take this no more Honey I'm out the door
No I won't relax I've got my suitcase all packed
But what she said next Stopped me dead in my tracks
Okay
here's the truth It's not what you think
The man that you hurt is head of oncology
I'm sorry I lied to you all of those times
I didn't know how to tell you I might not survive
Okay here's the truth I've got six months to live
Only one need what's best for you and the kids
I promise I'll fight
with all of my might But if I lose this battle
I lived a good life
So baby just please hold my hand And tell me that you understand
