Tango: Maureen

The samples won't delay but the cable...
There's another way
Say something, anything
Test one, two, three
Anything but that

This is weird
It's weird
Very weird
Fuckin' weird
I'm so mad that I don't know what to do
Fighting with my cord phones, freezing down to my bones
And to top it all off, I'm with you

Feel like going insane?
Got a fire in your brain?
And you're thinking of drinking gasoline?
As a matter of fact...
Honey, I know this act
It's called the "Tango: Maureen"

The Tango Maureen
It's a dark, dizzy merry-go-round
As she keeps you dangling (You're wrong)
Your heart she is mangling (It's different with me)
And you toss and you turn
'Cause her cold eyes can burn
Yet you yearn and you churn and rebound
I think I know what you mean
The Tango Maureen

Has she ever pouted her lips and called you "Pookie"?
Never
Have you ever doubted a kiss or two?
This is spooky
Did you swoon when she walked through the door?
Every time, so be cautious
Did she moon over other boys?
More than moon
I'm getting nauseous

It's hard to do this backwards
You should try it in heels

She cheated
She cheated
Maureen cheated
Fuckin' cheated
I'm defeated, I should give up right now
Gotta look on the bright side
With all of your might
I'd fall for her still, anyhow

When you're dancing her dance
You don't stand a chance
Her grip of romance makes you fall
So you think, "Might as well
Dance a tango to hell
At least I'll have tangoed at all"

The Tango Maureen
Gotta dance till your diva is through
You pretend to believe her
'Cause in the end, you can't leave her
But the end it will come
Still you have to play dumb
Till you're glum and you bum
And turn blue

Why do we love when she's mean?
And she can be so obscene
Try the mic
My Maureen
Patched
Thanks
You know, I feel great now
I feel lousy
The Tango Maureen
