Loretta

I've got a song you should play in the band We’ll fire it out on Elton John's baby grand They'll take our portrait in the lower east side But it’s taking forever for you to decide I called up a favour for seats at the show The unremarkable death of Marilyn Monroe Your ex heard about it and he gave you a bell Said you're covering shifts just so I couldn't tell Corner to corner Fold down the line You sent off your letter to politely decline Dinner at the Wolseley it's a hell of a time Exhausting the host and drinking all of the wine Loretta you know I'd feel better Oh, Loretta let me come and get ya You make your lovers wait forever I don't think that you're mine You've already changed your mind All my life in a line And I don’t wanna waste my time I’m not in the ring to contend for the prize I'm still biding my time because I’m trying to be wise I'll light a candle for the days that go by But I won't spill the wax on my brand new Kawai I think of you often when my moods going down To the corner of Sophies or the wrong side of town I buried the hatchet there not to be found But I'm snooping around at the burial ground There’s a reservation for T.Truman tonight You mentioned you like the place now tell me I'm right Pick what you fancy, choose the best cabernet And tell me you'll stay Loretta you know I'd feel better Oh, Loretta let me come and get ya You make your lovers wait forever I don't think that you're mine You've already changed your mind All my life in a line And I don't wanna waste my time
