Lyrics
Arlene
Looks like a cyclone hit this place;
Looks like something hit your face, Arlene.
What's going on around here?
Dead engine yard on a dead end street?
He a-rebuilding cars and ignoring your needs, Arlene.
Is he worth it, Arlene?
You had high hopes,
You dreamed big dreams,
But you married a nightmare, Arlene.
We grew up laughing, the best of friends;
We've seen each other through the thick and thin, Arlene.
Now you just listen to me.
Remember Johnny with the crush on you?
He's a big lawyer now, don't be a fool, Arlene.
Here's his number, Arlene.
You had high hopes,
You dreamed big dreams,
But you married a nightmare, Arlene.
You had a job, you had a life,
Let down your guard now you're a loser's wife.
Tell me you're happy, tell me he's nice,
And I'll stop giving you this free advice, Arlene.
You had high hopes,
You dreamed big dreams,
But you married a nightmare, Arlene.
