Lyrics
TOM, DICK, AND HARRY
Every time that boy came calling
We could see you were stalling
For the next best thing
The next amazing face.
Every time he came to see you
He couldn't keep from falling
Cause your cloud nine
Had someone else in his place.
Every Tom, Dick, and Harry
Are standing next in line
While you keep him waiting
Til the end of time.
Every Tom, Dick, and Harry
Are laughing in his face.
They know what it's like
To be there in the race.
There goes his heart
Trying to do his thinking.
He knows he's a dreamer
He knows it 'til he's blue.
He always comes in second
Trying to be the king.
You're the queen of hearts
And he's your royal fool.
Every Tom, Dick, and Harry
Don't even know his name.
Every Tom, Dick, and Harry
Won't see him around here again.
