Monica's Song


by Greg Swann


VERSE:
They say he's a cruiser, a good-for-nothing user
They tell me he's a tar-pit of deception and guile
But I can judge him better than the law of the letter
I sink into his wink because I'm stuck on his smile

        CHORUS:
        So I'm his co-dependent co-defendant
        Yeah, I'm the kind of girl he can count on
        I'm his co-dependent co-defendant
        He stands for everything I sit down on

VERSE:
He cheated on his wife but that's the story of his life
But then he tripped on Linda Tripp and she pushed "record"
But they won't take him to the cleaners for high crimes and misdemeanors
I don't have Betty Currie's worries, I'll just fall on his sword

        CHORUS:
        And be his co-dependent co-defendant
        He's finally found a girl he can count on
        I'm his co-dependent co-defendant
        He stands for everything I sit down on

    BRIDGE:
    My friends say, "Monica, Monica, you're Betty not Veronica
    You need to have a practical plan!"
    I know it's all true, but what else can I do?
    I'm just another little fish who's been hooked by that man!

VERSE:
Obstruction of justice may make people mistrust us
But that Nero is my hero and I love to feed him grapes
I know he's gonna wail until they let me out of jail
We're registered at Sak's and mom is shopping for drapes

        CHORUS:
        'Cause I'm his co-dependent co-defendant
        I'll always be the girl he can count on
        I'm his co-dependent co-defendant
        He stands for everything I sit down on

        Oh yeah, he proudly stands
            He steadfastly stands
                He stands for everything I sit down on
