Lyrics

THE LIGHT WENT ON
FINALLY IT ALL CAME CLEAR
THE ONE SHE THOUGHT WAS REAL
WAS JUST A WAM-BAM-THANK-YOU-MA'AM
WITH A SMOOTH VOICE
I'LL CALL YOU LATER,HE SAYS
THEN DISAPPEARS
WELL, THAT'S THAT
WILL HE COME BACK
SHE'LL REFUSE TO THINK ABOUT IT


CAUSE ALL IT WAS FOR HER WAS DESPERATION
ALL IT WAS FOR HER WAS DESPERATION
PURE FRUSTRATION
DESPERATE FROM WAITING AND WAITING
WISHING HE'D REPLACE THE ONE SHE'S WAITING FOR
WELL, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR
HER DESPERATION LINGERS
FROM FEET TO FINGERS

THE REAL ONE WILL STAY


WHEN SHE SEES HIM
IT'S THE SAME SMOOTH VOICE
AND DIMPLE LIE SMILE
SHE KNEW SHE WAS PLAYING WITH FIRE
AND FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
NEVER TRUST A MAN OF DESIRE
IT'S A PRETTY HEFTY PRICE TO PAY
SHE'LL REFUSE TO THINK ABOUT IT
