Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'd like to be a princess on a throne
To have a country I could call my own
And a king
Who's lusty and requires a fling
With a female thing
[Verse 2]
Great men will be men
Let me turn on the gas
I caught them in the den
With Marvin grabbing Whizzer's ass
[Verse 3]
Oh sure, I'm sure, he's sure
He did his best
I mean he meant to be what he was not
The things he was are things which I forgot
He's a queen, I'm a queen
Where is my crown?
[Verse 4]
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
My life is shitty and my kid seems like an idiot to me
I mean, that's sick
I mean, he's great
It's me who is the matter
Talking madder than the maddest hatter
[Verse 5]
If I repeat one more word, I swear I'll lose my brain
Oh, what else should I explain?
Oh yes, it's true
I can cry on cue, but so can you
[Verse 6]
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
Down, down
You ask me is it fun to cry over nothing?
It is, I'm breaking down
[Verse 7]
Now let's consider what I might do next
I hate admitting I've become perplexed
I'm berieved
I've cried, I've shook
I've yelled, I've heaved
I have been deceived
[Verse 8]
As enemies go, Whizzer is not so bad
It's just he's so damn happy
That is makes me so damn mad
[Verse 9]
I want to hate him, but I really can't
It's like a nightmare how this all proceeds
I hope that Whizzer don't fulfill his needs
Don't is wrong, sing along
What was the noun?
[Verse 10]
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
I'll soon redecorate these stalls
I'd like some padding on the walls
And also pills
I wanna sleep
Sure, things will probably worsen
But it's not like I'm some healthy person
[Verse 11]
I've rethought my talks with Marv
And one fact does emerge
Oh, I think I like his shrink
So that is why I might turn to drink
[Verse 12]
I'm on the bring of breaking down
I'm breaking down
Down, down
I only want to love a man who can love me
Or like me
Or help me
Help me
[Verse 13]
Marvin was never mine
He took his meetings in the boy's latrine
I used to cry, he'd make a scene
I rather die than dry clean Marvin's wedding gown
[Verse 14]
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
It's so upsetting when I found that what's rectangular is round
I mean, it stinks
I mean, he's queer
And me, I'm just a freak who needs it
Maybe every other week
I don't know
[Verse 15]
I've rethought the fun we've had
And one fact does emerge
I've played the foolish clown
The almost virgin who sings this dirge
Is on the verge
[Verse 16]
Of breaking down
I'm breaking down
Down, down
The only thing that's breaking up is my family
The only thing that's breaking up is my family
But me, I'm breaking down
