And pretty, pretty princess,
You've got it all,
But your life is pretty useless.
He's just a tall boy
Looking for some answers.
He'll just keep thinking that
It's just a lost cause.
Yeah, it's a lost cause.
And baby, you've been called out
Should you run or just
Try to lie your way out?
"I'll take the second one,"
She says. "Please
Forgive my alcoholic tendencies.
I hope that, that someday you will forgive me."
Don't put your best on for him tonight,
Just promise me you won't spend the night
And go home at a decent hour
We'll forget this ever happened.
So don't put your best on for him tonight,
Just promise me you won't spend the night
And go home at a decent hour
We'll forget this ever happened.
And baby, you've been caught now
And so it seems that these
Lies have spun you right out.
But you'll recover from this.
It's not the way I planned to leave,
And I guess that, that someday
You will forgive me.
Don't put your best on for him tonight,
Just promise me you won't spend the night
And go home at a decent hour
We'll forget this ever happened.
So don't put your best on for him tonight,
Just promise me you won't spend the night
And go home at a decent hour
We'll forget this ever happened.
How can I sleep
When you're lying on his couch?
There's got to be
Some way out, some way out
Of these sleepless nights
Wondering where you spent the night...
Don't put your best on for him tonight,
Just promise me you won't spend the night
And go home at a decent hour
We'll forget this ever happened.
And the sun has never gleamed so bright,
Now I see things in a different light
And I can't go home now
And just forget this ever happened.
