Sister what's wrong?
Why so blue?
Girls,
is it that obvious?
I got all dolled up in my Saturday night best,
cause I didn't know my fella was a fraud.
But when I walked into his cozy little nest,
he was in the feathers with another broad.
Now I see that his sweet nothings were nothing more than lies,
so now girls,
the scales have
fallen from my rosy-collared eyes.
Hit it!
He keeps a gaggle of names in his little black book,
of all the gullible dames that he keeps
on the hook.
He was so sweet when we met,
so girls,
how was I to know that he lied when
he said, hello?
It's like a vaudeville scene,
oh,
he's playing a part.
He's just a dime store Valentino,
but without any heart.
He's not a movie star,
he's just another two-time in Joe. And he lied when he said,
hello.
He has a chorus of song words he keeps under wing,
so face the fact,
the guy is no saint.
The guy is no saint.
To you, he's finally the one.
To him, you're only a fling.
Cause a man is just pretending that he's someone he ain't.
Someone he ain't.
So while you're floating in bliss,
keep your eyes on his nose,
because with every stolen kiss,
you'll see the way that it grows.
Cut the strings while you can,
cause he'll never propose.
Girl, he's just a sad Pinocchio.
You're not the bride that he'll wed,
cause he lied when he said,
hello.
The dirty,
rotten * lied when he said,
hello.
So many voices I hear, so many faces I see.
First there is Josephine who's saying,
Joe,
you're smarter as me.
And then there's Kip who's shouting,
Shotzi,
it's the end of your show.
Cause he lied when he said, hello.
If I asked Josephine,
how can I clean up this mess?
She'd say,
I thought you got much wiser when you put on my dress.
Then Kip would interrupt with,
Dumkopf,
you reap what you sow.
Cause pal, you lied when you say, hello.
Since I was only a kid,
I was taught by the best.
Disguise the truth and throw them some curves.
But now it's time to grow up,
to put the old Joe to rest,
and finally be the friend that
Jerry,
I mean Daphne,
deserves.
And a sugar can't love a man and never know his real name.
And so it's time for tellin' Kip that Joe is through with the game.
Then I'll make Josephine
proud by finally taking the blame.
Then Kip and Josephine will have to go.
So when you see her tonight,
I'm gonna tell her the truth.
And tell Pinocchio's good that'll,
while I've still got my youth.
So now we're through with pretending,
it's time to do right.
I'm gonna have a happy ending
cause I just saw the light.
And now the final bell is ringing,
it's the end of the fight.
This referee just called a TKO.
To prove the sugar I wanna stay,
I will not lie when I say,
hello.
Toodle-oo!
