She’s putting on her face again
Getting ready for the night ahead
A little drink get in the mood
Last nights gone what’s been said has been said
Her heart is like an open book
Wish they wouldn’t say things like that
She can’t get a second look
The flowers make things easier
The stars are only painted
You can’t wish for what you need
You know your wish can’t come true
Don’t waste your time find someone new
He was the operator
Living just the next block down
It wasn’t his car you stepped into
Now your name is all over town
In all the books
All the magazines
All the newspapers
And all the screens
Now you don’t move in the same circles
You know you know
And you know too well
You can never be sorry
You can never be friends
She’s putting on her face again
