At 2 PM, She eats a late lunch by design
So that she'll have
Some self-control at dinnertime
Not much at all,
gets done on friday afternoon
So who would mind if she should leave a little soon
The welcome breath of open air
the daily driving regimen
Talk radio to fill her head
until the exits missed again

At 4 PM, her second shower of the day
she shuts her eyes
and lets the work week wash away
repaints her toes and fingernails
sprays on 3 dollars of perfume
brushes her teeth and tries on clothes
until they clutter up the room

At 6 PM she shows up at her friends house late
We have to eat
before the concert starts at eight
She says hello to our mutual friends
hugs me a little bit too tight
they told me she came just for me
and now I see that they were right

REFRAIN:
It does nothing for me
but make me sad
that you did all this
for nothing
You had to know
that I never saw you
as a star in my life's fairytale
Did you really think
That you'd really change that at all
by putting your hair in a ponytail
