Here come your pride and joy

The comic little drunk

You call your boy

Making everybody smile

Who takes your pretty plan

And then becomes a disappearing man

After a little while

I saw you with your make-up running down

Now what's that all about

You say you don't want anyone around

Cause you're all cleaned out

You toss the empty beer

Not really as composed as you appear

A icicle inside

Wearing clothes that clash

Wondering is this treasure, is this trash

Still trying to decide

About 5 o'clock here comes your clown

With the foot he's throwing down

But all you say is you don't want anyone around

Come not right now

There ain't nothing to dream

You don't want to think about it

I'm sorry you seem so stumped

And I'm sorry you think you have to hold your tongue

When your so pretty and smart

I'm seeing you caving in

Becoming afraid of all these men

That you've given your heart

I saw you with your make up running down

Now what's that all about

You say you don't want anyone around

Cause you're cleaned out

All cleaned out

All cleaned out
