My Career As A Homewrecker |
Well I had just met the girl and her boyfriend |
She was ready for leaving him |
And I was the way, I was the key |
I was her way to say, «I'm free» |
And he would never talk about it |
Which made me sad |
I didn’t see what we’d done |
That was so bad |
We were all about twenty one |
My career as a home wrecker |
Had just begun |
I was thinkin' about the Boston rock scene one fine day |
And found it too conservative, you might say |
I knew her well, I knew him terrific |
What’s wrong if we wanted something specific? |
He never talked about it |
Which hurted me |
I never saw why such sorrow |
Had to be |
I was now about twenty four |
And I was called homewrecker |
Once more |
If someone’s mad at me, why can’t they tell me so? |
Why do they just avoid me? |
If someone’s mad at me, why can’t they tell me so? |
Because I would want to know |
Meanwhile out on the West Coast, I started wreckin' homes |
Tryin' to convince girlfriends to leave and roam |
Now I didn’t touch 'em, 'cause I didn’t want 'em |
But I wanted to affect 'em, I wanted to haunt 'em |
And this was the following year |
My career as a homewrecker |
Was in third gear |
Another case of homewreckin' I half did |
Was the girl who loved me |
No matter what she said |
She tried to hide it as long as she could |
To save her boyfriend pain but it did no good |
You see I have certain trades and certain wants |
Sometimes I’ll try a certain thing to provoke a response |
Sometimes I’ll break a rule just to see who looks |
Sometimes I’ll knock on a door just to see what cooks |
My career as a homewrecker is not yet through |
There’s all these homewreckin' things to do |
Sometimes I’ll break a rule just to see who cares |
Sometimes I’ll knock just to see who’s there |
