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, little cringemaker)
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)

(Sweet little cringemaker)

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

Oh, 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)

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
