Lyrics
Well it's a good night to find a bad friend
I saw you leaning on the weekend
And you were telling anybody that would listen
That you would never dream of going missing
You try to make me believe with all your slick flattery
That something decent lives deep down inside of me
And though you love your man you said you've never really been
In such an unspeakable position like the one you got in
Well it's those lies you tell that make me want to be your lover
Well the lowdown was that there was a knock-down drag-out fight
Over by your house on Sunday night
The neighbours said that someone called the police
And that you were outside in your panties and your bare feet
And that your husband was out of town on business
It's hell hot, officer, I wish that I went with him
He's at a seminar on real estate in K-Town
Gonna learn to buy a house for no money down
Well it's those lies you tell that make me want to be your lover
The crown in your eyes makes me want to run for cover
The storm in your thighs makes it all feel right
Those charcoal days and those sterling nights
It doesn't even matter now, whoa
It's not even up to you, whoa
It doesn't even matter now, anyhow
Well it's a fine night to make a big mess
Out of every little thing that ever mattered to us
The last man standing, first man glad-handing
Gets to handle all the baggage you got on your train
Make me feel like steel, steal like a thief
You said there's something in my eyes that's so believable
Well it's those lies you tell that make me want to be your lover
The crown in your eyes makes me want to run for cover
The storm in your thighs makes it all feel right
Those charcoal days and those sterling nights
It doesn't even matter now, whoa
It's not even up to you, whoa
It doesn't even matter now, whoa
It's not even up to you, whoa
It doesn't even matter now, whoa
It's not even up to you, whoa
It doesn't even matter now, whoa
It's not up to you, whoa
