Marriage of Convenience

[Verse 1]
I bet someone told you that I’d be a bad wife
I can’t be your mother
I couldn’t do that right
I bet you read Updike and think one of these nights
I might drink your gin and drown our baby

[Verse 2]
I would never embarrass myself
By calling you at your new wife's house
At three in the morning
Trying to scare her
No I'm no princess
I'm Scarlett O'Hara
One of my [?] hanging from a string
Am I not your sweet thing any more?
You can't just take me when you wanna
I won't make you beg but I know
You're gonna

[Chorus]
Melanie
Melanie
I hate you and your baby
Melanie
Melanie
I hate you and your baby
How could you ask her to marry you?
How could you speak to me that way?
How could you ask her to marry you?

[Verse 3]
In my biography
You'll say that you always loved me
I had make it clear that you're not gentle
You're gentility

[Chorus]
Melanie
Melanie
I hate you and your baby
Melanie
Melanie
I hate you and your baby
How could you ask her to marry you?
How could you speak to me that way?
How could you ask her to marry you?

[Chorus 4]
I'll eat you and your Ivy League
I eat my words
I eat like kings
I take your word
I take plan B
You will no longer
Marry me
You run and stop me in the street
Then talk me down like Socrates
And look at me
Waiting to be forgiven
Like my pain's a symptom
Of your stoicism

[Chorus]
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
How could you ask her to marry you?
How could you speak to me that way?
How could you ask her to marry you?
How could you ask her to marry you?
How could you
How could you ask
Marry me
I hate you and your baby
Marry me
I hate you and your baby
Marry me
I hate you and your baby
Marry me
I hate you and your baby
