letra de regretting what i said... (live) - christine lavin

[intro]
and this is a request
it says, “please play ‘a musical apology'”
okay! this is…
these are the therapists clapping
this one has a really long song title, so bear with me
it’s called
“regretting what i said to you
when you called me 11 o’clock on a friday morning
to tell me that at 1 o’clock that very same afternoon
you’re going to leave your office
go downstairs on the street
to hail a cab to go out to the airport to catch a plane
to go skiing in the alps for two weeks
not that i wanted to go with you
i was not able to leave town
i’m not a very good skier
i could not expect you to pay my way
but after going out with you for three years
i don’t likе surprises!”
you know, you guys ever do that?
likе, you know, your girlfriend always gets mad
when, like, you go off and do something with the guys
so you figure
“i’ll tell her when i’m on my way to the airport
and this way, she won’t have any time to get upset”
ha ha ha ha!
but anyway, it’s, it’s subtitled “a musical apology”
’cause after i hung up the phone
i started to have second thoughts
[verse 1]
i didn’t mean it when i said, “i hope
the cable in the elevator snaps
when you step on board”
and i was joking when i said
“i hope you crack your head
and get mangled by the downstairs revolving doors”
and i was kidding when i said, “i hope
the number 103 bus
hits and makes a pancake out of you”
i’m sorry, i’m sorry
but isn’t it amazing what a woman in love will do?

[verse 2]
and i really don’t want to see your taxi
on the 59th street bridge
flip over and crash through the rail
and i’d feel bad if at the airport you were
mistaken for a local s-x offender
arrested, beaten up, and thrown in jail
and i really don’t want to see you getting radiation poisoning
from the metal detector that all passengers on
foreign and domestic flights must walk through
i’m sorry, forgive me
for all the mean things i said to you
[bridge]
you thought i didn’t have a temper
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, surprise!
but i really don’t want to see you
dismembered by the marijuana sniffing dogs
when a simple little nipping would suffice
would suffice

[verse 3]
and i’m sorry that i said, “i hope
the flight attendant spills scalding hot coffee on your lap
as the plane carries you away from me”
and i’m sorry that i said
“i hope you break both legs
on the mountain while you ski”
and i’m sorry for all the nasty things
i said about your mother
even though we both know they’re true
i’m sorry, forgive me
i’m swallowing my pride
i’d feel so guilty if you died
oh, i’m sorry but i’m still mad at you
