Lie Detector

she's a movie star arrangement

got a touch of bergman to her face

she wears suits and buys him flowers

smokes his cigarettes and bakes him cakes

he says uh oh i love you

but i'm not sure i trust you

you seem strange to me



she's got green eyes and she's lovely

reminds me of the 'it' girl with her lips

got an automatic license

reads all dostoievsky's household tips



he says uh oh i love you

but i'm not sure i trust you

you seem strange to me



how come everyone suspects her

attach her to a lie detector

watch a thousand housewives fizz and burn

and every time she answers yes

the needles on his polygraph test

just go round in circles like his brain



she's got long hair but she's ugly

got a touch of einstein to her brain

she wears fat clothes but she's cunning

people say she's easy all the same



he says uh oh i love you

but i'm not sure i trust you

you seem strange to me



it took a thousand cliches just to scold her

took a man from stepford and a tape recorder

got his ego broken so crestfallen

you made a start you made us laugh

stop it you're a grown man baby

it's just that your head's no good
