Karaoké Laura Billy Joel

Laura calls me in the middle of the night

Passes on her painful information

Then these careless fingers they get caught in her vise

'Till they're bleeding on my coffee table

Living alone isn't all that it's cracked up to be

Oh woah woah

I'm on her side

Why does she push the poison on me

Oh woah woah ho woah

Laura has a very hard time

All her life has been one long disaster

Then she tells me she suddenly believes she's seen a very good sign

She'll be taking some aggressive action

I fight her wars while she's slamming her doors in my face

Oh woah woah

Failure to break was the only mistake that she made

Oh woah woah woah

Here I am feelin' like a fuckin' fool

Do I react the way exactly she intends me to

Every time I think

I'm off the hook she makes me lose my cool

I'm her machine and she can punch all the keys

She can push any button

I was programmed through

Laura calls me when she needs a good fix

All her questions will get sympathetic answers

I should be so immunized to all of her tricks

She's surviving on her second chances

Sometimes I feel like this godfather deal is all wrong

Oh woah woah

How can she hold an umbilical chord for so long

Oh woah woah woah oh

Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

I've done everything I can

What else am I supposed to do

I'm her machine and she can punch all the keys

She can push any button

I was programmed through

Laura loves me even if I don't care

That's my problem

That's her sacred absolution

If she had to she would put herself in my chair

Even though I faced electrocution

She always says

I'm the best friend that she's ever had

Oh woah woah

How do you hang up on someone who needs you that bad

Oh woah woah ho woah
