All around the room your things are placed

And next to you he fills the space

And so it seems your saving grace

Is only saving face

The pictures of the two of you

On holiday, on honeymoon

You thought that he was wanting you

But he was only wanting you to

Let him off the hook

He was your imaginary friend

You were partners 'til the end

Then something bends, and then it breaks

Your worst mistake, accepting

Enemies on bended knees

A litany of tragedies

You're vexed, it seems you're hexed

And after sex he expects you'll let him

Off the hook 'til

Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you

Shaken while he stirred; when you awaken you will

Make him eat his words right off the hook

And line, every time

The credit card receipts, the dirty sheets

The souvenirs of men who cheat

It all makes sense, with each offense

You wanted to believe him

He could get away with murder one

And you would clean the smoking gun

With every crime, you bought each line

But not this time, you'll make him

Eat his words 'cause

Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you

Shaken while he stirred; when you awaken you will

Make him eat his, make him eat his

Words while he's alone 'cause you won't be around and

From now on the phone stays off the hook

And line, every time

Hook and line, every time
