Sugar Coat

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I turn the bathroom light on To take my make up off Look at myself in the eye I wonder why I wear it anyway Another car drives by I wonder where you are The kids are all in bed And everything but you is in its place [Pre-Chorus] From the street view lookin' in It's pretty as a picture Our home sweet home [Chorus] Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin' Sometimes I wish I liked pills Wish I could sleep with a stranger But someone like me never will Sometimes I hardly can stand it I just smile with a lump in my throat Sometimes I wish I could bear it Didn't have to wear this sugar coat [Verse 2] Passed down from my mom She wore it so well She'd rest it on my shoulders Say it's colder out there than you think [Pre-Chorus] Would I recognize myself? Would anybody else If I took the damn thing off And burned it? [Chorus] Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin' Sometimes I wish I liked pills Wish I could sleep with a stranger But someone like me never will Sometimes I hardly can stand it I just smile with a lump in my throat Sometimes I wish I could bear it Didn't have to wear this sugar coat [Post-Chorus] Oh, this damn sugar coat [Bridge] In one of these nights I'll meet you in the driveway And tell you to go to hell Go to hell [Chorus] Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin' Sometimes I wish I liked pills Wish I could sleep with a stranger But someone like me never will Sometimes I hardly can stand it I just smile with a lump in my throat Sometimes I wish I could bear it Didn't have to wear this sugar coat [Outro] This damn sugar coat Oh, this sugar coat This damn sugar coat
