Off the Hook Lyrics
The song Off the Hook is performed by Barenaked Ladies in the album named Maroon in the year 2000 .
Send Off the Hook Ringtone to your Cell
All around the room your things are placed
And next to you he fills the space
And so it seems your saving grace
Is only saving face
The pictures of the two of you on holiday, on honeymoon
You thought that he was wanting you
But he was only wanting you
To let him off the hook
He was your imaginary friend
You were partners till the end
Then something bends, and then it breaks
Your worst mistake
Accepting enemies on bended knees
A litany of tragedies
You're vexed, it seems you're hexed
And after s*x he expects
You'll let him off the hook
Till something that you heard
While you were sleeping left you
Shaken while he stirred
When you awaken you will
Make him eat his words right off the
Hook and line, every time
The credit card receipts, the dirty sheets
The souvenirs of men who cheat
It all makes sense with each offense
You wanted to believe him
He could get away with murder one
And you would clean the smoking gun
With every crime, you bought each line
But not this time, you'll make him
Eat his words 'cause
Something that you heard
While you were sleeping left you
Shaken while he stirred
When you awaken you will
Make him eat his, make him eat his
Words while he's alone
'Cause you won't be around and
From now on the phone stays off the
Hook and line, every time
Hook and line, every time
