Off The Hook

Album: Barenaked Ladies Durasi: 4:34
[00:18.05]All around the room your things are placed
[00:22.53]And next to you he fills the space
[00:26.18]And so it seems your saving grace is only saving face
[00:32.54]The pictures of the two of you on holiday, on honeymoon
[00:39.80]You thought that he was wanting you,
[00:43.32]But he was only wanting you to
[00:46.94]Let him off the hook
[01:05.98]He was your imaginary friend,
[01:09.56]You were partners 'til the end
[01:14.04]Then something bends, and then it breaks, your worst mistake
[01:19.53]Accepting enemies on bended knees; a litany of tragedies
[01:26.78]You're vexed, it seems you're hexed and after sex he expects
[01:34.05]You'll let him off the hook 'til
[01:38.55]Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you
[01:45.77]Shaken while he stirred.
[01:50.22]When you awaken you will
[01:52.91]Make him eat his words right off the
[02:01.11]Hook and line, every time
[02:14.64]The credit card receipts, the dirty sheets
[02:19.16]Souvenirs of men who cheat
[02:23.63]It all makes sense - with each offence
[02:27.32]You wanted to believe him
[02:30.03]He could get away with murder one,
[02:34.51]And you would clean the smoking gun
[02:38.18]With every crime, you bought each line,
[02:41.72]But not this time, you'll make him
[02:45.33]Eat his words 'cause
[02:48.03]Something that you hear while you were sleeping left you
[02:55.38]Shaken while he stirred
[02:59.85]When you awaken you will
[03:02.59]Make him eat his, make him eat his
[03:09.84]Words while he's alone, 'cause you won't be around and
[03:17.99]From now on the phone stays off the hook
[04:09.47]🎵
