Charlotte Lyrics - Why The Long Face - Big Country

It wasn't in her diary 

It wasn't in her stars 

She didn't hear it at the mall 

It only makes things worse 

Charlotte's in her icebox 

Needs someone to blame 

Another slice of chocolate cake 

Helps to ease the pain 

He used to buy her underwear 

She loved to wear it too 

While he would always talk so nice 

But she pretended too 

They saw the world together 

But always in the dark 

Three hours in a limousine 

To find a place to park 

Charlotte's in her icebox 

Needs someone to blame 

Another slice of chocolate cake 

Helps to ease the pain 

They lived a million miles apart 

Between their dozen blocks 

Sometimes she would call him up 

But he would never talk 

Charlotte's in her icebox 

Needs someone to blame 

Another slice of chocolate cake 

Helps to ease the pain 

She never saw him Sundays 

He spends them with his kids 

And they swore things would never change 

But now she knows they did 

Charlotte's in her icebox 

Needs someone to blame 

Another slice of chocolate cake 

Helps to ease the pain
