Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You got a grown man for a boyfriend
So you better treat him just like a baby
Yeah, he's a saint on Sunday, he's a bum on Monday
Rest of the week he's just crazy
[Verse 2]
He's unpredictable, like an animal
Proud as an eagle, big and strong like a bear
Yeah, he's a snake and a frog, he's a pig and a dog
There's a menagerie that's living in there
[Verse 3]
You'll be his princess, forever after, yes
If you keep acting like you're always sixteen
He is the king, ruling the kingdom's his thing
Just remember his mother is queen
Don't you forget it
[Verse 4]
Sometimes he fools around when he goes out of town
But sooner than later he's bound to get caught
Yeah, he loves coming home, but then he has to roam
Mister Ambivalence, the guy that you've got
[Verse 5]
He's got some problems, no, you can't solve 'em
He's got some goblins that he can't exorcise
Mostly he wants to cry, he's afraid to die
But he's living life like it's a booby prize
Don't you forget it
[Verse 6]
He wishes he were young, a little better hung
And he's paranoid you feel that way too
So reassure him, you'll never cure him
But he still needs his daily dose of you
So don't forget it
[Verse 7]
You got a grown man for a boyfriend
So you better treat him just like a baby
Yeah, he's a saint on Sunday, he's a bum on Monday
Rest of the week he's asleep on Sunday
[Verse 8]
He's a beast on Monday
Rest of the week he's blue on Sunday
And he's manic on Monday
Rest of the week he's just crazy
