COAT IN THE ATTIC
Words & Music by
Lee Kweller & Mark Elber

You're a video couch potato and I'm singin' the blues
Cause the only way you'd look at me is if I were evenin' news
When you said you loved me...Girl, I knew you lied
Cause your idea of romance is to share the TV guide

Like your COAT IN THE ATTIC
You never do a thing
When your favorite soap comes on the air
You let the telephone ring
I really thought I had it
When you charged me pay-per-view
But like your COAT IN THE ATTIC
I hung out here for you

During reruns of "I Love Lucy" I asked for your hand
But instead of wedding bells heard Johnny Carson's band
Now people say that love is strange but this is too bizarre
Cause the only way to steal your heart is to steal your VCR

Like your COAT IN THE ATTIC
You never do a thing
When your favorite soap comes on the air
You let the telephone ring
You called me a fanatic
When I stood and blocked the tube
But like your COAT IN THE ATTIC
I hung out here for you

Well if you keep ignoring me it's more than I can take
I'm gonna cut your cable line at the next commercial break

Like your COAT IN THE ATTIC
You never do a thing
When your favorite soap comes on the air
You let the telephone ring
If you don't break the habit
I know just what I'll do © Lee Kweller & Mark Elber
