Cringemaker Songtext
von Walter Becker

What ever happened to my college belle
When did she turn into the wife from hell?

Hey, little cringemaker
What are we coming to?
Sweet, little cringemaker
My little cringemaker
What have they done to you?
Sweeet, little cringemaker

In the beginning, we rode high on the hog
Down in the kitchen now it′s dog-eat-dog
Our little cringemaker up on the second floor

Sweet little cringemaker
Hey little cringemaker who locked the bedroom door?
Sweet little cringemaker (yeah)
Sweet little cringemaker
(What ever happened to my -, ha-ha, yeah)
Sweet little cringemaker


And every time I go to make my play
She rolls mighty boulders in my way
Hey little cringemaker it's such a bumpy ride
Sweet little cringemaker
My little cringemaker thought you were on my side
And every time I get to have my say
She just laughs and looks the other way
Oh little cringemaker this time you hurt my pride

Sweet little cringemaker
My little cringemaker where am I gonna hide?
Sweet little cringemaker
(What ever happened to my -, ha-ha, yeah) (uh, oh, yeah)
Sweet little cringemaker

Nobody told us when we started out (when we started out)
Just what this life is really all about (really all about)
Sometimes I wonder, and you do too (oh, I wonder, wonder)
If I could do it all over would I
Still do it all over you (ooh, oh, oh, oh)

(You know I told her)
(Yeah)
(Sweet little cringemaker)
(Yeah, come on)
(Yeah, whoa) (yeah)
(Darling, darling (oh)


She calls me daddy and I just go numb
Down in the bottom where the love comes from
Oh little cringemaker, what happened on the way?
Sweet little cringemaker
My little cringemaker to where we are today
Sweet little cringemaker

I try to figure, but I′m way too dumb
How we got here from where we started from
A little cringemaker I guess we always knew
Sweet little cringemaker
My little cringemaker, who we would turn into, huh
Sweet little cringemaker

Sweet little cringemaker
(What ever happened to my -, ha-ha, yeah) (uh)
Sweet little cringemaker
Uh-oh
Sweet little cringemaker
Sweet little cringemaker

Sweet little cringemaker
Yeah, now buzz the way out, yeah
Oh
Sweet little cringemaker
Sweet little cringemaker
