Painting Her Fingernails

Lyrics

She's painting her fingernails While waiting for something to happen Listening to love songs And watching the clock on the wall She could fix her A cheese sandwich But someone might ask her to dinner So she's painting her fingernails Waiting for someone to call There's A tough yellow photograph Tucked in the edge of the mirror That Raggedy Ann doll That she played with as A child There's an old top dresser drawer Filled with Jewelry pills and Old letters And she's painting her fingernails Dreaming of Falling in Style And there on the desk Is A dark Macabre that She Started last December And the black guilded Christmas Card He sent her 3 Years ago So she's stretching her legs With an exercise she's been neglecting Painting her fingernails Hoping that the grey doesn't show In the fridge there's what's left Of last Wednesday nights Candlelight Dinner On her neck is A love mark Just to prove he was there And she took off from the Dentist Just to take her red coat To the cleaners And she's Painting her fingernails Wondering if anyone cares Then it donns on me That the telephone Just night be out of order So she picks it up, hears some Talk Then sits down again Yeah they're so different than other Well there's so many other men That if she has to they'll Call back again She dresses the cute one And she smiles again She dresses herself up In front of Johnny Carson And she smiles goodnight At the Bullfighter there on the wall And she crawls into bed Knowing that this time tomorrow She'll be painting her fingernails Waiting for someone to call She'll be painting her fingernails Waiting for something to do
