I turn the bathroom light on
To take my make up off
Look at myself in the eye
I wonder why I wear it anyway
Another car drives by

I wonder where you are
The kids are all in bed
And everything but you is in its place
From the street view lookin´ in
It´s pretty as a picture
Our home sweet home

Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin´
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
And didn´t have to wear this sugar coat

Passed down from my mom
She worried so well

She rested on my shoulders
Says it´s cold out there, anything
Would I recognize myself
With anybody else?
If I took the damn thing off
And burned it

Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin´
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
And didn´t have to wear this sugar coat

Oh, this damn sugar coat

In one of these nights I´ll meet you in the driveway
And tell you to go to hell
Go to hell

Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin´
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can´t stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bury it
And didn´t have to wear this sugar coat

This damn sugar coat
Oh, this sugar coat
This damn sugar coat
