I turn the bathroom light on To take my makeup off Look at myself in the eye And 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
From the street view looking in It's pretty as a picture A home sweet home
Sometimes I wish I liked drinking 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
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
Would I recognize myself Would anybody else If I took the damn thing off and burned it up
Sometimes I wish I liked drinking 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 Oh, this damn sugar coat
One of these nights I'll meet you in the driveway And tell you to go to hell, go to hell
Sometimes I wish I liked drinking 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 This damn sugar coat Oh, this sugar coat This damn sugar coat
