Timmy's in the tub taking too much time
Mary's on the couch with a nursery rhyme
Who's that man knocking at the door?
We've never seen him before
We're not tired, can't we stay up late
Timmy's stomach aches from something he ate
Better sit down in the rocking chair
Gotta get the gum out of Mary's hair
Sometimes it's so hard to be alone
What I need What I need What I need
For you to disappear
But still be here
When he goes home
I was a kid when I married your dad
Things were good, then things went bad
Now Timmy's having fits cause his homework's wet
Mary just screams til her needs get met
The place is quiet now it's twenty past ten
There's laundry on the bed, let's sit in the den
Gee it's real nice to kiss your mouth
But this doesn't feel right
Could you sleep on the couch?
Sometimes it's so hard to be alone
What I need What I need What I need
For you to disappear
But still be here
When he goes home
