The Mendoza Line - The Queen of England Lyrics

So, you thought you were in love
Just 'cause I bought you pancakes
Call it an honest mistake
But for God's sake don't call it love
So, you thought you were turned on
Just 'cause I got you wasted
And you over-appraised it
When you told your friend you were in love
And you recognize, of course
That all this is just a sham
And I'm not an artist
That's no one's idea of a man
You were a little engine that might
Might all these little things right
But if I don't see you tonight
Say hi to the Queen of England
So you thought we should've stayed friends
But I didn't think so
But you wouldn't take no for an answer
You kept on asking why
So I said I wanted you
But I didn't mean it
I just liked to see if
I could say those things
And look you in the eye
And you recognize, of course
That all this is just a sham
He's not an artist
And I'm no one's idea of a man
You were a little engine that could
Make all these awful things good
But you never said you would
Help out the Queen of England
You recognize, of course
That all this is just for laughs
'Cause I've been his lover
And he don't really talk like that
You were the little engine that cracked
That isn't blood on the tracks
Should you want your innocence back
Go ask the Queen of England
Should you want your innocence back
Go ask the Queen of England

So, you thought you were in love
Just 'cause I bought you pancakes
Call it an honest mistake
But for God's sake don't call it love
So, you thought you were turned on
Just 'cause I got you wasted
And you over-appraised it
When you told your friend you were in love
And you recognize, of course
That all this is just a sham
And I'm not an artist
That's no one's idea of a man
You were a little engine that might
Might all these little things right
But if I don't see you tonight
Say hi to the Queen of England
So you thought we should've stayed friends
But I didn't think so
But you wouldn't take no for an answer
You kept on asking why
So I said I wanted you
But I didn't mean it
I just liked to see if
I could say those things
And look you in the eye
And you recognize, of course
That all this is just a sham
He's not an artist
And I'm no one's idea of a man
You were a little engine that could
Make all these awful things good
But you never said you would
Help out the Queen of England
You recognize, of course
That all this is just for laughs
'Cause I've been his lover
And he don't really talk like that
You were the little engine that cracked
That isn't blood on the tracks
Should you want your innocence back
Go ask the Queen of England
Should you want your innocence back
Go ask the Queen of England
