Nobody upstairs gonna stomp and shout
Nobody at the back door gonna throw my laundry out

And I’m pins and I’m needles
Well, I lie and I’m easy
All the time but I am never sure
Why I need you
Pleased to meet you

Verse 2
What’s the matter with the clothes I’m wearing?
“Can’t you tell that your tie’s too wide?”

Where have you been hidin’ out lately, honey?
You can’t dress trashy till you spend a lot of money
