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 makeup 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

An icicle inside

Wearing clothes that clash

Wondering is this treasure, is this trash

Still trying to decide

And about 5 o'clock here comes your clown

With the front he's throwing down

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

No, not right now

There ain't nothing to drink

You don't want to think about it

I'm sorry you seem so stung

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

When you're 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 makeup running down

Now what's that all about?

You say you don't want anyone around

Cause you're all cleaned out

All cleaned out

All cleaned out
