Off The Hook Lyrics - Maroon - Barenaked Ladies

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 and line, every time 

The credit card receipts, the dirty sheets 

Souvenirs of men who cheat 

It all makes sense - with each offence 

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 

Photos 

Something that you hear 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
