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
[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?
