She s a cross between
Emma Peel
Gwyneth Paltrow
And Kathy Lee
She s got a boyfriend
He s twenty-three
She won t give him up
I can t set him free.
And still he means the world to me
If only I could make him see
If only he d be good to me
But he s the king of tragedy, oh oh.
He calls me on the phone
He needs another loan
Gonna lose his home
He lays it all on me
And I feel so guilty
Wanna tell him no
But he always tricks me
Into letting go.
And still he means the world to me
If only I could make him see
If only he d be good to me
But he s the king of tragedy, oh oh.
Oh, come back to me, yea yea.
We used to call you
Johnny Fun
Isn t that ironic
After all you ve done
But the door s still open
The way is clear
When you get it together
I ll be here.
And still he means the world to me
If only I could make him see
If only he d be good to me
But he s the king of tragedy, oh oh.
You and me that s all I ever wanted
Can t you see you re all I ever wanted
You and me it s all I ever wanted
Can t you see you re all I ever needed, oh oh.
