Off the Hook Lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

Off the Hook Lyrics

    All around the room your things are placed
    And next to you he fills the space
    And so it seems your saving grace is only saving face
    The pictures of the two of you on holiday, on honeymoon
    You thought that he was wanting you,
    But he was only wanting you to
    Let him off the hook

    He was your imaginary friend,
    You were partners til the end
    Then something bends, and then it breaks, your worst mistake
    Accepting enemies on bended knees; a litany of tragedies,
    You're vexed, it seems you're hexed and after sex he expects
    You'll let him off the hook til
    Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you
    Shaken while he stirred. When you awaken you will
    Make him eat his words right off the hook
    Hook and line, every time

    The credit card receipts, the dirty sheets
    The souvenirs of men who cheat
    It all makes sense - with each offense
    You wanted to believe him
    He could get away with murder one,
    And you would clean the smoking gun
    With every crime, you bought each line,
    But not this time, you'll make him
    Eat his words cause

    Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you
    Shaken while he stirred
    When you awaken you will
    Make him eat his, make him eat his
    Words while he's alone,
    Cause you won't be around and
    From now on the phone stays off the hook
    Hook and line, everytime
    Hook and line, everytime
