Laura Lyrics - 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 vice 

Til they're bleeding 

On my coffee table 

Living alone isn't all that 

It's cracked up to be 

I'm on her side 

Why does she push the poison on me? 

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 

Failure to break 

Was the only mistake 

That she made 

Here I am 

Feeling like a f***ing fool 

Do I react the way exactly 

She intends me to? 

Everytime 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 

How can she hold an umbilical chord 

For so long? 

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 

How do you 

Hang up on someone 

Who needs you that bad?
