[Verse]
What does he see in those mashed potatoes?
What secrets does he hold that can be so grim?
The silence like a canyon dividing them
He's on one side, she's opposite him
Trying so desperately to get his attention
She says, "Honey, you're a bastard of great proportion"
He says, "Darling, I plead guilty to that sin"
With potatoes half way to his mouth
He looks her in the eye and says, "Without a doubt
My love for you is all that I believe in"
[Chorus]
With those few simple words
Her heart is sent soaring
She's able to face another day
Through the anger and the laughter
She knows that she matters
And somebody out there cares
[Verse]
What does she gain by all this sulking?
What trouble can there be for one so young?
Dark tension building like the clouds of a storm
Her daughter's in her room and she's at the door
Trying to figure out what all this fuss is for
What does he see in those mashed potatoes?
What secrets does he hold that can be so grim?
The silence like a canyon dividing them
He's on one side, she's opposite him
Trying so desperately to get his attention
She says, "Honey, you're a bastard of great proportion"
He says, "Darling, I plead guilty to that sin"
With potatoes half way to his mouth
He looks her in the eye and says, "Without a doubt
My love for you is all that I believe in"
[Chorus]
With those few simple words
Her heart is sent soaring
She's able to face another day
Through the anger and the laughter
She knows that she matters
And somebody out there cares
[Verse]
What does she gain by all this sulking?
What trouble can there be for one so young?
Dark tension building like the clouds of a storm
Her daughter's in her room and she's at the door
Trying to figure out what all this fuss is for
