Closet Case Lyrics - Romanovsky And Phillips

Working in a suit and tie 

On the twenty-second floor 

A wife who cooks and stays at home 

And children to support 

And they provide some comfort 

From your worries and your cares 

But you get your kicks in tearooms 

From ten-minute love affairs 

And that's just fine 

You won't find a lecture here 

But you get more unhappy 

With each passing year 

At the office Christmas party 

Your wife is by your side 

But with all the pretty women 

It's the men who catch your eye 

The old ones are distinguished 

And the young ones are so sweet 

And you would like to dance with them 

But you have to be discreet 

Holding onto ideal 

That you don't understand 

Sacrificing all the love 

You'd like to give to a man 

Martinis on a Friday 

Business lunch at noon 

The secretary's curious 

Why you left your desk so soon 

Rushing out to meet someone 

That you never thought would call 

'Cause you were slightly older 

And he was dark and tall 

Now he is there beside you 

But there's no place to go 

'Cause he has got a roommate 

And you've got a family at home
