Lyrics

ALL OVER

Jill doesn't want to go home
So she's been driving round and round in circles
It's great to be alone
She is thinking about the beating
She knows she's gonna get as soon as she walks through the door

Three years of marriage gone down the drain
She didn't have a clue what she 'd be going through
Just because she said the words "I do"

She believed in fairy tales
Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast
Happy endings
When she looked at Jim, she saw Mr. Right

Then Jill - she fell in love
No one in her life had ever pulled the strings of her heart
She starts dreaming about the wedding
And the honeymoon they'd have on an island far, far away

Jim was the perfect gentleman - the way he kissed her gently
Dinner by candlelight, long stemmed roses
Fine wine and Luther crooning
Everything was right

When he took her out at night
He always paid close attention to her needs
He gave her what she craved
What she wanted most was to be loved

But on their wedding day he showered her with insults
Inflicted physical pain
She thought of the vow she made and forgave him when he said
"I am sorry. I won't let that happen again."
(He lied)

And now her heart aches and her body bleeds
Because she's not giving him the love she says that he needs
She doesn't love him
She can't stand him
She'll give him anything he wants if he would just let her be

They are not talking anymore
And Jim is sulking, drinking, walking around just cussing
It seems like everything Jill does turns the little squabble into war

On the edge of their king size bed is where she sleeps
Night after night she silently weeps
"Oh, God I just can't take it any more!"

She is frantic, and starts to panic
Every time he lays his cold hand on her it's never romantic
All the pretense, doesn't make much sense
Why do they have to keep on lying to themselves?

She starts screaming:
"This time I'm leaving
I hope you have a better life living all by yourself.
It is over
All over!"
