I Thought I Told You to Wait in the Car

Lyrics

[Refrain] "I thought I told you to wait in the car" "I thought I told you to wait in the car" [Verse 1] What's she doing now? Has the encore come yet And the bravas and bouquets Don't tell me, don't tell me Someday I'll find a mind of my own 'Til then, I'm content to hear her say [Refrain] "I thought I told you to wait in the car" "I thought I told you to wait in the car" [Interlude] What's she doing now? What's she doing now? [Verse 2] What's she doing now? Autographing autobiographies? Padding to discographies? Don't tell me, don't tell me There's no such thing as a perfect situation That's what I say when I hear her scream [Refrain] "I thought I told you to wait in the car" "I thought I told you to wait in the car" "I thought I told you to wait in the car" [Verse 3] I'll turn on the radio ("I thought I told you to wait in the car") And look at myself in the rear-view mirror I know she has an image to protect I know she's not just being mean when she screams [Refrain] "I thought I told you to wait in the car" [Verse 4] What's she doing now? Meeting leaders of the Free World? She's dressed in black, she's their poster girl Don't tell me, don't tell me I know she has an image to protect I know she's not just being mean when she screams [Refrain] "I thought I told you to wait in the car" ("I thought I told you to wait in the car") "I thought I told you to wait in the car" ("I thought I told you to wait in the car") "I thought I told you to wait in the car" ("I thought I told you to wait in the car") "I thought I told you to wait in the car" [Bridge] Just a glimpse of it all Just a taste of it all Just one foot in the door In the door of dreamland In the door of dreamland [Refrain] "I thought I told you to wait in the car" [Verse 5] Walking in on an afternoon tryst Can be a source of embarrassment Embarrassment for all concerned Don't tell me, don't tell me In my wildest dreams I never thought of Warren Beatty as a rival [Refrain] "I thought I told you to wait in the car" "I thought I told you to wait in the car" "I thought I told you to wait in the car" "I thought I told you to wait in the car"
