BARENAKED LADIES lyrics : "Off The Hook"


All around the room your things are placed
And next to you he fills the space

And so it seems your saving grace is only saving face
The pictures of the two of you on holiday, on honeymoon
You thought that he was wanting you,

But he was only wanting you to
Let him off the hook


He was your imaginary friend,
You were partners til the end
Then something bends, and then it breaks, your worst mistake

Accepting enemies on bended knees; a litany of tragedies,
You're vexed, it seems you're hexed and after sex he expects
You'll let him off the hook til

Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you
Shaken while he stirred. When you awaken you will
Make him eat his words right off the hook

Hook and line, every time

The credit card receipts, the dirty sheets

The souvenirs of men who cheat
It all makes sense - with each offense
You wanted to believe him

He could get away with murder one,
And you would clean the smoking gun
With every crime, you bought each line,

But not this time, you'll make him
Eat his words cause


Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you
Shaken while he stirred
When you awaken you will

Make him eat his, make him eat his
Words while he's alone,
Cause you won't be around and

From now on the phone stays off the hook
Hook and line, everytime
Hook and line, everytime
