she said, "Who answered the phone?
I don't understand I thought you'd be alone
Tonight."
I said, "The girl who lives here,
Said the band could stay if we bought the beer."
She said, "I don't like the sound of that,
Tell me what she looks like - thin or fat?:
I said, "I can't really say,
What does it matter anyway?"

I said, "it's good to hear you voice,
I really do miss you but we made the right
Choice."
She said, "I hope you're eating well and
Living here without you is living through
Hell."
I said, "I may be home early
Be a few days till I know for surely."
"Shirley!, is that her name?
Is she in love and do you feel the same?"
No, I don't feel the same

Chorus"

I cannot find a way to make peace with
You today.
So where will we be tomorrow?

So I busted my ass to make it home and
When I got there - she wasn't alone
She said, "You're home so soon,
I didn't get a chance to clean the room."
I said, "...forget this house...
Road cheese calls both man and mouse."
She said, "don't end it this way,
I really did miss you everyday
...well...almost everyday...in every way."
