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
