Lyrics Nellie McKay

Nellie McKay

Beecharmer

Sewed everything he said

Together with a thread

Repeatin' in my mind

Each word like a rhyme

Like a penny serenade

Liltin' through a song

He says the record's overplayed

Where did I go wrong

He 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

And when he calls back today

I know I'm gonna try

But I know you're mine

When you're on the line

Is it somethin' I said

Won'tcha let him walk away

Got it stuck in my head

Don'tcha hear a word I say

Is it something I said

Every night the same old moan it's

Eeieeieee

Am waiting till my Joe comes home

I'm the queen of QVC

You're leanin' on my ear

You mean the world to me

Though the connection isn't clear

Like my inkspot seventy-eights

Convenient when you're low

Feel like an antelope on a nature show

I guess I gotta go

But I know you're mine

When you're on the line

Is it somethin I said

Would you let him walk away

Got it stuck in my head

Don'tcha hear a word I say

Is it something I said

Everytime we're on the phone it's

Eeieeieee

Am waiting till my Joe comes home

Hey

Castaway romance

What's it gonna take

No knights with shiny armor

Hey

Try a different dance

Oh, I'm a real beecharmer

Well I scold and I scratch to make him stay

But he don't wanna know from me

Why that old alley cat he runs away

Lock the door and lose the key

Is it somethin I said

Won'tcha let him walk away

Got it stuck in my head

Don'tcha hear a word I say

Is it something I said

Every night the same trombone it's

Eeieeieee

Am waitin till my Joe comes home

Hey

Last car wreck romance

What's it gonna take

No knights with shiny armor

Hey

Try a different dance

Oh I'm a real beecharmer
