Sugar Coat
I turn the bathroom light on
To take my makeup off
Look at myself in the eye
And wonder why I wear it anyway
Another car drives by
I wonder where you are
The kids are all in bed
And everything but you is in its place
From the street view looking in
It's pretty as a picture
A home sweet home
Sometimes I wish I liked drinking
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat
Passed down from my mom
She wore it so well
She'd rest it on my shoulders
Say it's colder out there than you think
Would I recognize myself
Would anybody else
If I took the damn thing off and burned it up
Sometimes I wish I liked drinking
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat
Oh, this damn sugar coat
One of these nights I'll meet you in the driveway
And tell you to go to hell, go to hell
Sometimes I wish I liked drinking
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat
This damn sugar coat
Oh, this sugar coat
This damn sugar coat
To take my makeup off
Look at myself in the eye
And wonder why I wear it anyway
Another car drives by
I wonder where you are
The kids are all in bed
And everything but you is in its place
From the street view looking in
It's pretty as a picture
A home sweet home
Sometimes I wish I liked drinking
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat
Passed down from my mom
She wore it so well
She'd rest it on my shoulders
Say it's colder out there than you think
Would I recognize myself
Would anybody else
If I took the damn thing off and burned it up
Sometimes I wish I liked drinking
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat
Oh, this damn sugar coat
One of these nights I'll meet you in the driveway
And tell you to go to hell, go to hell
Sometimes I wish I liked drinking
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat
This damn sugar coat
Oh, this sugar coat
This damn sugar coat
