I thought I told you to wait in the car' 'I thought I told you to wait in the car' 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 'I thought I told you to wait in the car' 'I thought I told you to wait in the car' I'll turn on the radio 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 'I thought I told you to wait in the car' 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 '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' 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 'I thought I told you to wait in the car' 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 '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' ----------------------------------------------------
