Catherine Cox - I'm Breaking Down (1985) lyrics

[WIFE] I'd like to be a princess on a throne To have a country I can call my own And a king Who's lusty and required a fling With a female thing Great... men will be men... Let me turn on the gas I saw them in the den With Marvin grabbing some guy's a** Oh sure, I'm sure, he's sure he did his best I mean he meant to be what he was not The things he was are things which I forgot He's a queen, I'm a queen Where is our crown? I'm breaking down I'm breaking down My life is sh**ting And my kid seems like an idi- -Ot to me Oh no, that's sick I mean he's great It's me who is the matter Talking madder than the maddest hatter If I repeat one more word I swear I'll lose my brain What else should I explain? Oh yes, it's true I can cry on cue But so can you I'm breaking down I'm breaking down Down, down You ask me if it's fun To cry over nothing It is I'm breaking down I think it's strange because the s** was good It wasn't great, but it was... knock on wood... (Knock, knock, knock) Sometimes fair The truth though - he was au contraire Years before he'd dare To try a little something Now, talking of then; Talking of when we met I'd take his mouth and feet And make them do- Well... I forget I think it's rotten how I lately feel It's like a nightmare how this all proceeds I hope that Whizzer don't fulfill his needs "Don't" is wrong! Sing along What was the noun? I'm breaking down I'm breaking down I'll soon redecorate these stalls I want some padding on the walls And also pills (I wanna sleep); Sure, things will prob'ly worsen But it's not like I'm a healthy person I've rethought my talks with Marv And one fact does emerge; I never liked my chin- So that is why I am thinking thin And on the brink of breaking down I'm breaking down Down, down I only wanna love A man who can love me... (spoken) Or like me... Or hold me... Or touch me... Or stand me... (sung) Marvin was never mine He took his meetings in the boys' latrine I used to cry We'd make a scene I'd rather die than dry clean Marvin's wedding gown I'm breaking down I'm breaking down It's so upsetting how I found That what's rectangular is round I mean it stinks I mean, he's... queer And me, I'm just a freak Who needs it maybe every other week I've rethought the fun we've had And one fact does emerge: I played the foolish clown The almost-virgin who sings this dirge Is on the verge Of breaking down I'm breaking down Down, down The only thing that's breaking up Is my marriage The only thing that's breaking up Is my marriage But me, I'm breaking down Dooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnn!!
