I?M MRS. JONES - © 2000 Steve Berger


People see me ?round town, say, ?Hey Mrs. Jones.?
?How?s that handsome man of yours??
If marriage is a lifeboat, love must be the oars,
And the Joneses are upon the rocky shore.

I?ve noticed you around. Yeah, you?re new in town.
I hope you don?t think I?m too bold.
You know how people are, how rumors circulate-
You had a failed marriage, I am told.

The piercing color of your eyes
burns into my memory.
And if you want to know my name-
Mrs. Jones is what they all call me?

What do I have to show for all my time with him?
We have no children and no life.
He?s got so many friends, there?s no room for mine.
I guess I?m just a trophy wife.

You won?t reveal the secret hid behind your eyes.
You may have been the victim of too many lies.
My final papers should be coming through in June.
?Hello, I?m Mrs. Jones, and I?ll be single soon??
