Bee Charmer Lyrics

Sewed everything you said
Together in a thread
Repeating in my mind
Each word like a rhyme
Like a penny seranade
Looking through his song
He said the record's overplayed
Well, where did I go wrong?

You never stayed at first,
Could not commit the time
Ignored all the quirks
But he still did the crime
And when he goes away
I know you'll call and cry

And when he calls up to tell
Know I'm gonna try

But i know you're mine
When you're on the line

Is it something i said?
Would you let him walk away?
Got it stuck in my head!
Don't you hear a word i say?
Is it something i said?
Every night the same old moan,
It's AAAHHH
Waiting 'til my joe comes home

"Everytime he asks me how i feel, when i tell him, the phone goes dead."

I'm the queen of QVC
You're leaning on my ear
You mean the world to me
Though the connection isn't clear
Like my ink sputs 78's
Convenient when you're low

Feel like an antelope on a nature show
I guess i gotta go

But I know you're mine
When I'm on the line

Is it something i said?
Would you let him walk away?
Got it stuck in my head!
Don't you hear a word i say?
Is it something i said?
Everytime we're on the phone
It's AAAHHH
Waiting 'til my joe comes home

Hey
Cast away romance
What's it gonna take?
No knights with shiny armor
Hey
Try a different dance
Oh, i'm a real bee charmer

Well I scold and I scratched to make him stay
But he don't want to know from me
Why that old alley cat, he runs away
Lock the door and lose the key

Is it something i said?
Would you let him walk away?
Got it stuck in my head!
Don't you hear a word i say?
Is it something i said?
Everynight the same trombone
It's AAAHHH
Waiting 'til my joe comes home

Hey, hey
Let's forget romance
Let's correct romance
No knights with shiny armor

What's it gonna take?
Try a different dance
Well I'm a real bee charmer

wonderful stuff, her and Cyndi Lauper in a duet, playing off each other in a fun, humorous way. A great song that in a perfect world would have been a huge radio hit

Sounds like Cyndi Lauper's going through a tricky relationship full of ups and downs and Nellie is the best friend she always turns to at the low points. This song is lovely.
