be my valentine

All the bedroom lights go out as the neighborhood gets quiet / Everything in heaven and earth is almost right. But there's a wife who's wondering where her husband could be tonight / and when the phone rang only once, she took a dreadful fright.

Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him. He was late this time last week. / Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim? Because the baby isn't old enough to speak.

There's been a long honeymoon; she thought too late and spoke too soon. / There's no moneyback guarantee on future happiness. / There's been a long honeymoon. If he's out on a date, then her life's in ruins. She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this.

All the movies and the papers feature the murders of lonely women. / If he isn't in by ten, she'll call up her best friend. Why doesn't he come home? Why does her friend's phone keep on ringing? / Maybe she should just pretend.
^{Elvis Costello}
