| Well, boy you’ve got it wrong
|
| Golden Calf or not
|
| I bet you’re still talking 'bout me ugly
|
| I never wanted her to give me all she’s got
|
| And I never wanted her to love me
|
| But just like you I was drawn to her eyes
|
| Just like you she went and left me
|
| Just like you I can’t forget the night
|
| Watching that pretty thing undressing
|
| And you said she can run around with anyone but me
|
| I couldn’t play by your rules boy and neither could she
|
| So I laid her down in a gossamer gown on the same bed that you did
|
| And the shadows played on the wall
|
| As she told me your closet talk
|
| It’s funny you’d think I care at all what you see in me
|
| You’re crazy calling that girl a whore
|
| Cried like a baby behind the door
|
| Your temper tantrums settle your scores
|
| She talks to anything that breathes
|
| Call me whatever you need
|
| Well, boy you’ve got it wrong
|
| Golden Calf or not
|
| I bet you’re too dumb to know the difference
|
| You’re talking like a saint, saying «throw it in the fire»
|
| Even though you’re the one who built him
|
| Gathered the jewelry, and melted it down
|
| Made for yourself to go idolize
|
| If that wasn’t me
|
| I already jumped town
|
| Catching up to your runaway bride
|
| And you said she can mop the floor with any modern man
|
| I wish I played by your rules boy, 'cause now I know she can
|
| She took my heart in a parking lot
|
| From the moment we first kissed
|
| Now I’m stuck in some firing line
|
| Between my girl and a waste of time
|
| A shot from loving all through the night
|
| I’m not so different than you
|
| High as a kite on the church pew there
|
| So infantile in your wild despairs
|
| I get it boy, you’re the perfect pair
|
| But that kind of love, it takes two
|
| So call me, whatever you do
|
| But when the party’s over honey
|
| And your key to the kingdom don’t fit the new lock
|
| And everybody’s shoving camels through the eye of the needle
|
| And you’re punching the clock
|
| Yeah, when your new squeeze talks both your ears off baby
|
| And you’ve got that open road feeling
|
| Send your regards when your heart is ripe for the stealing |
