Verse 1
I turn the bathroom light on
To take my makeup off
Look at myself in the eye
I wonder why I wear it anyway
Another car drives by
I wonder where you are
The kids are all in bed
And everything but you is in its place
Pre-Chorus
From the street view looking in
It's pretty as a picture
A home sweet home
Chorus
Sometimes I wish I liked drinking
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat
Verse 2
Passed down from my mom
She wore it so well
She'd rest it on my shoulders
Said it's colder out there than you think
Would I recognize myself
Would anybody else
If I took the damn thing off and burned it up
Chorus
Sometimes I wish I liked drinking
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat
Oh, this damn sugar coat
Pre-Chorus
And one of these nights I'll meet you in the driveway
And tell you to go to hell, go to hell
Chorus
Sometimes I wish I liked drinking
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
And didn't have to wear this sugar coat
This damn sugar coat
