Lyrics

Answer Phone

(Three, four) Here I go again Wasting all my days away It's a funny thing how some things never seem to change Twenty-seven years of age Head spin like a satellite If you thought I was gonna behave tonight, you're wrong I'm drunk, and I'm a mess Dressed up like it's Halloween Dancing alone to "Billie Jean" Praying that somebody takes me home Praying that tonight I won't have to sleep alone With your answering phone Here I go again Wasting all my money, babe It's a funny thing how some things never seem to change I'm sick of all this cheap cocaine I ain't got no appetite If you thought I was going to behave tonight, you're wrong I don't wanna be a star Famous on the party scene Dancing alone to "Billie Jean" Praying that somebody takes me home Praying that tonight I won't have to sleep alone With your answering phone Smile Smile Smile Smile, even if you're feeling sad
