Maudlin Laundry

you are the queen of maudlin laundry
you hang it on the line for everyone to see
but it’s still dirty
sometimes I ask myself why you are so honest
it wouldn’t hurt to hide a detail or two
but you hardly ever tell the whole truth
sometimes I ask myself if you are so honest
‘cause just once
I’d like to find the smoking gun
and just once I’d like to see you come undone
you’ve got a badge of hurt at least a mile wide
you’ve got a purple heart from wounded pride
you’ve got an ugly scar
that you don’t try to hide
but just once I’d like to find the smoking gun
and just once I’d like to see you come undone
