| Bad lovers face to face in the morning |
| Shy apologies and polite regrets |
| Slow dances that left no warning of Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning |
| Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere |
| Even presidents have newspaper lovers |
| Ministers go crawling under covers |
| Shes no angel |
| Hes no saint |
| Theyre all covered up with white washed grease paint |
| And you say… |
| The teacher never told you anything but white lies |
| But you never see the lies |
| And you believe |
| Oh you know you have been captured |
| You feel so civilized |
| And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves |
| The salty lips of the socialite sisters |
| With their continental fingers that have |
| Never seen working blisters |
| Oh I know theyve got their problems |
| I wish I was one of them |
| They say daddys coming home soon |
| With his sergeant stripes and his empire mug and spoon |
| No more fast buck |
| And when are they gonna learn their lesson |
| When are they gonna stop all of these victory processions |
| And you say… |
