You Only Want Me 'cause You Want My Sister
You pulled up at the house at half past seven
In your '69 Impala
You shook hands with my father
And we stopped off at the drug store by the drive-in
For some Trojans and a six-pack
But still your eyes kept wandering back to her
It's always her
So let's get one thing straightened out here, sir
If you think you're seeing double
Let me save you some trouble
This ain't no two-for-one bargain here mister
'Cause I'm much more than just twice shy
I've had enough two-timing guys
Who only want me 'cause they want my sister
My eyes are just as blue as hers
My hair is just as fine
And that tattoo on her lower back's exactly just like mine
But if you look beneath the surface
We're as different as can be
'Cause there's just one heart that beats for you
And that heart belongs to me
And not to her
It's always her
So let's get one thing straight if i'm your girl
If you think you're seeing double
Let me save you some trouble
This ain't no two-for-one bargain here mister
'Cause I'm much more than just twice shy
I've had enough two-timing guys
Who only want me 'cause they want my sister
And if tomorrow you should die
My sister would not bat an eye
She doesn't even know your name
She's going with some other guy
As long as she is still around
I'll always have a trace of doubt
I need to know your love is real
But how?
We're all dressed up
The flowers sure are pretty
Mother pays her last respects
I look around
No one suspects that it was me
Who put the Drain-O in her coffee
Now that she is underground
I'll know that youre not hanging 'round for her
Not for her
Now I know your love is true for sure
If you think you're seeing double
Let me save you some trouble
This ain't no two-for-one bargain here mister
'Cause I'm much more than just twice shy
I've had enough two-timing guys
Who only want me 'cause they want my sister
It pains my heart to think of her
A rotting, stinking, maggot-infested
Blated and pus-oozing corpse beneath the earth
You can't imagine just how much I miss her
But now I know you want me
Not my sister
In your '69 Impala
You shook hands with my father
And we stopped off at the drug store by the drive-in
For some Trojans and a six-pack
But still your eyes kept wandering back to her
It's always her
So let's get one thing straightened out here, sir
If you think you're seeing double
Let me save you some trouble
This ain't no two-for-one bargain here mister
'Cause I'm much more than just twice shy

Who only want me 'cause they want my sister
