This is the place where I made my best mistakes |
|
This is the place even angels don't understand |
|
I've seen the disappointment in her face |
|
And the collection of engagement rings on her right hand |
|
She sits alone apart from the crowd |
|
In a white dress she wears like a question mark |
|
Friends speak of her fondly |
|
Enemies just think out loud |
|
You think you're man enough to please her |
|
And you're fool enough to start |
|
But you're not gonna do a thing to our little angel |
|
There's nothing you're thinkin' tonight that tomorrow won't change |
|
Now the cabaret is frozen |
|
And the laughter comes in cans |
|
And the lonely hearts club clientele |
|
Don't know what to do with their hands |
|
You think that you'll be sweet to her but everybody knows |
|
That you're the marshmallow valentine that got stuck on her clothes |
|
And you're not gonna do a thing to our little angel |
|
There's nothing you're thinkin' tonight that tomorrow won't change |
|
So you mix your drinks and words |
|
You make bad jokes, you make bad time |
|
The floors are there to walk over |
|
The walls are there to climb |
|
You swear you'll never go back again once you're inside |
|
You're never the bridegroom, she's always the bride |
|
You're not gonna do a thing to our little angel |
|
There's nothing you're thinkin' tonight that tomorrow won't change |
|
You'll come in a sweetheart and you'll go out a stranger |
|
Well, you try to love her but she's so contrary |
|
Like a chainsaw running through a dictionary |
|
So get your mind off the sweet behind of our little angel |
|
You're not gonna do a thing |
|
You're not gonna do a thing |
|
You're not gonna do a thing to our little angel |
