| Lyrics | |
| Original Source: | LyricWiki |
| She wears a wedding ring her sister lent To throw them off the scent Just let them guess, it's what they expect Who in the world has bitten her neck? She's discovered wearing last night's dress The carnal and cunning, she couldn't express Who do you think she's trying to impress? CHORUS: I think you'd better hold your tongue Although you've never been that strong I'm sorry to say that I knew all along You're no match for that sulky girl She left her European town Before she let the family down She couldn't stand the Massacre Game So she dyed her hair and adopted another name With the evidence of passing out stamped on her hand She glows in the dark He thinks she's from another planet So... CHORUS Sulky girl I'm sure you look a picture when you cry Threatening the silent treatment doesn't qualify It's like money in the bank Your expression is blank But while the chance appears You'll be nearer to tears Sulky girl [2x] He said "Hello, my pretty flower" Just trying out his tycoon power Avoiding the mirror, her pitying stare She said "You're mistaken, your money's no good in here" Just some stupid little know-it-all Who thought she looked easy; he's not that astute He'll pay for the distance Between cruelty and beauty CHORUS I won't tell you again What do you gain by blackening her name? She's smarter than you Oh, isn't it a shame You're gonna lose that sulky girl Sulky girl I saw you practising your blackmail faces Suddenly you're talking like a duchess But you're still a waitress I saw through your pretence But in my DEFENSE There are a few events I think will spare the censor Sulky girl [4x] | |
