I Thought I Told You to Wait In the Car

"I thought I told you to wait in the car!
I thought I told you to wait in the car!"

What's she doing now?
Has the encore come yet?
And the bravas and bouquets?
Don't tell me, don't tell me

Someday I'll find a mind of my own
'Til then, I'm contempt to hear her say:

"I thought I told you to wait in the car!
I thought I told you to wait in the car!"

What's she doing now?
What's she doing now?
What's she doing now?
Autographing autobiographies?
Adding to discographies?
Don't tell me, don't tell me

There's no such thing as a perfect situation
That's what I say when I hear her scream:

"I thought I told you to wait in the car!
I thought I told you to wait in the car!

I thought I told you to wait in the car!"
I turn on the radio
"I thought I told you to wait in the car!"
And look at myself in the rear-view mirror

I know she has an image to protect
I know she's not just bein' mean when she screams:

"I thought I told you to wait in the car!"

What's she doin' now?
Meeting leaders of the free world?
She's dressed in black, she's the poster girl
Don't tell me, don't tell me

I know she has an image to protect
I know she's not just bein' mean when she screams:

"I thought I told you to wait in the car!
I thought I told you to wait in the car!
I thought I told you to wait in the car!
The car, the car, the car, the car
The car, the car, the car, the car"

Just a glimpse of it all
Just a taste of it all
Just one foot in the door
In the door of dreamland
In the door of dreamland

"I thought I told you to wait in the car!"

Walking in on an afternoon tryst
Can be a source of embarrassment
Embarrassment for all concerned
Don't tell me, don't tell me

In my wildest dreams
I never thought of Warren Beatty as a rival

"I thought I told you to wait in the car!
I thought I told you to wait in the car!
I thought I told you to wait in the car!
I thought I told you to wait in the car!"
