why must IP lead

All your bitterness and lies
Sting like tears in my eyes
And a thousand lovesick tunes
Wont wash away the wounds from my mind
Youve been seen around, youre a news sensation
You got a better deal and you took his invitation
Youve been sitting on his lap and taking his dictation
Mercy, we used to love all day and drive all night
Mercy, jealousy used to whet your appetite
Mercy, we were low as dogs and high as kites
Why must I plead with you darling,
For whats already mine
My friends are indiscreet
And I sing myself to sleep
And I dont mind the red wine
Or the pickup line as long as its cheap
I ask you what s wrong, and you say Im all yours
I ask who your friend is, and you say Santa Clause
I ask you to come home, you say yoUre tired of being indoors
Mercy, you know you signed on that dotted line
Mercy, you signed yours and I signed mine
Mercy, you said forever till the end of time
Why must I plead with you darling,
For whats already mine
