A Few Home Truths - Hoodoo Gurus

But when I think of you and me

It’s hard to feel that way

Though you’ve gone

You still think you’re welcome here

I’ve moved on

You are not my puppeteer, my dear

If my doorbell rings

You’ll learn a few unpleasant things

And you can’t pull my strings for sympathy

A few home truths is all you’ll get from me

I’ve heard tell the one you’re with now drives you up the wall

You made your choice so live with that

We’re grown-ups, after all

And you can’t have your cake and eat it too

Made your bed, so you know what you can do?

You do, don’t you?

So don’t lean on me

I’ll disappoint you constantly

It’s best we if agree to disagree

A few homes truths is all you’ll get from me

Though you’ve gone you expect a welcome here

I’ve moved on, you can’t play the puppeteer, my dear

Once upon a time we met when I was still naive

We became a fairytale I wanted to believe

What I took for magic

Were some cheap tricks up your sleeve

But the ball always ends when it strikes twelve

And the cold light of day broke every spell, oh well

Your black magic fails and your routine is growing stale

So take your fairytales to someone new

Make these home truths my parting gift to you
