I Thought I Told You to Wait in the Car lyrics

[Refrain]
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"

[Verse 1]
What's she doing now?
Has the encore come yet
And the bravas and bouquets
Don't tell me, don't tell me
Someday I'll find a mind of my own
'Til then, I'm content to hear her say

[Refrain]
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"

[Interlude]
What's she doing now?
What's she doing now?

[Verse 2]
What's she doing now?
Autographing autobiographies?
Padding to discographies?
Don't tell me, don't tell me
There's no such thing as a perfect situation
That's what I say when I hear her scream
[Refrain]
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"

[Verse 3]
I'll turn on the radio
("I thought I told you to wait in the car")
And look at myself in the rear-view mirror
I know she has an image to protect
I know she's not just being mean when she screams

[Refrain]
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"

[Verse 4]
What's she doing now?
Meeting leaders of the Free World?
She's dressed in black, she's their poster girl
Don't tell me, don't tell me
I know she has an image to protect
I know she's not just being mean when she screams

[Refrain]
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"
("I thought I told you to wait in the car")
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"
("I thought I told you to wait in the car")
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"
("I thought I told you to wait in the car")
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"
[Bridge]
Just a glimpse of it all
Just a taste of it all
Just one foot in the door
In the door of dreamland
In the door of dreamland

[Refrain]
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"

[Verse 5]
Walking in on an afternoon tryst
Can be a source of embarrassment
Embarrassment for all concerned
Don't tell me, don't tell me
In my wildest dreams
I never thought of Warren Beatty as a rival

[Refrain]
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"
"I thought I told you to wait in the car"
