We're in love, let's be together
 Happy times or heavy weather
 Mother says, "today's a special day"
 So let's not fight, okay, yeah

 When you were at school you were a honey
 The boys all loved you, you loved the money
 The boys would stare, you'd cross your legs
 And then you'd toss your hair

 Money's scarce, but family honor
 Brings it home brings it home
 And down the shop, the tongues they snicker
 TV dinners, beer and liquor... oh yeah
 ♪
 Skeletons fall out of cupboards
 Curtains drawn fall open to allow
 The light shows up the dust
 That plays around your face

 Innocence and lies don't make a perfect match

 Leave your door unlatched
 I know a word can be untrue
 
 And yet still move you
 All the time they bring their friends 'round
 Dress you up, show you up
 And all the time they told you it was true
 Well I'll believe you now
 But then I just don't know I
 Think I have to reconsider, yeah
 I know when she got married
 She looked fine in white and lacy frills
 Oh yeah, she had a baby
 It was painful, it was worth it
 And all the time they stuck the knife in
 Pulled it up and twist it around
