about

Lyrics by Calvin Armerding
Music by The Muchmores

lyrics

she can be your holy roller, she can sing your hymns
she can put on clothes to cover all the bits that make you sin
don't you know that falling forward might mean you're on a weaker limb?
but she won't just let you blame her for all the kind of people you've been

like a lying dog, a wife-beating drunkard man
like a tall don juan with something left in your hand
when you come back home smelling like the fever of spring
oh, i bet she'll never show you the best woman she can be

she can be your dark night lady, wear your favorite dress and shoes
the ones that make her look like one of your five other women too
but hear me once, she promises nothing. no way to make her stay inside
but she won't just let you keep her for the pleasure of your wandering eyes

like a lying dog, a wife-beating drunkard man
like a tall don juan with something left in your hand
when you come back home smelling like the fever of spring
oh, i bet she'll never show you the best woman she can be

you're a lying dog, a wife-beating drunkard man
you're a tall don juan with something left in your hand
when you come back home smelling like the fever of spring
oh, i bet she'll never show you the best woman she can be
the best woman she can be
the best woman she can be
