Now Jack is the mack and he comes around every

Monday, oh Tuesday and Wednesday,

Every day of the week

And even though I try to tell you that I love you

From the bottom of my heart

You had no place for me, it was all vanity now



Chorus

You fell for one a them sweet lies

The ones you don't want to believe in

When your heart's not hearing

What your brain is saying

And you're weak in the knees

Another sweet lie

The kind you don't want to believe

When the heart's in doubt you got to stay out



Now the wine and the roses

Stop coming around sometime ago

But you won't admit that so, you pretend

I know it's hard to look your best

Wearing that same old shabby dress

So you stay at home, waiting by the phone



Chorus (repeat)



Now it gives me no pleasure to say

I told you so, it's been hard to keep it low

Knowing the things I know

Maybe in another place and in another time

Under different circumstances

You will find happiness so I suggest

Don't take foolish chances no



Now the wine and the roses

Stop coming around sometime ago

But you won't admit that so, you pretend

It's hard to look your best

Wearing that same old shabby dress

So you stay at home, waiting by the phone



Chorus...
