"All Tied Up" lyrics

Hey, little sister
Answer the phone
Tell him I'm busy
With the make-up and dome
Just take his number
I can't be disturbed
Tell him the same thing he told me
Hundreds of times
See how it feels to be standing in line

Tell him I'm all tied up
Just as busy as I can be
Tell him I'm all tied up
With somebody new
And to keep his bright side up
That I'll call him when I get free
But for a lifetime at least
I'm all tied up

I had invitations
Tried to be strong
Waited and waited
Till my patience has gone
I kept getting weaker
What you expect me to do?
Promising things week after week
But you're never there
You sure got a strange way of showing you care

Tell him I'm all tied up
Just as busy as I can be
Tell him I'm all tied up
With somebody new
And to keep his bright side up
That I'll call him when I get free
But for a lifetime at least
I'm all tied up

Got an appointment at one
And I'm leaving here right away
Got a plane to catch and a month of Saturdays
Cab driver
I believe it's time to go
Tell him the same things he told me
See how he feels to be standing in a line

Tell him I'm all tied up
Just as busy as I can be
Tell him I'm all tied up
With somebody new
And to keep his bright side up
That I'll call him when I get free
But for a lifetime at least
I'm all tied up
