Six children and a suburban home
Don't it hurt you to see me like this?
One of yours, and still so alone?
First daughter assigned third wife
I've done it all wrong again,
Haven't I?
Sprawled all across this spiky green turf
Drinking up the merciless sunshine
Trying to keep it down
Weeping about my friend's father
Watching for a hint of remorse in your stern frown
I wait for you to ask for my forgiveness
Go on, ask
Let me for once be the one to deny

Watching for a hint of remorse in your stern frown
