Ladies in Waiting There are sluts in my kitchen Eating our chips Momma's red-eyed and saying that I've got to Put up with them And they're doing doughnuts in the front yard in his cars And I don't want to be here And all of our ladies in waiting Are ready for us to cry, and You know, it's not what I'd hoped for But then again it rarely is And all of the ex's are calling Wondering if they broke me too soon And I say, "Hey, it's okay. Now I can honestly say that I've been through worse." They sit around me in a semicircle But don't worry my friends You won't have to heal me today 'Cause I've pushed it all away And all of our ladies in waiting Are ready for us to cry, and You know, it's not what I'd hoped for But then again, none of this is They say that God's with me But She doesn't know me So you can keep your blessings My birthday cake is still on the table My candles aren't cold yet Yet, and you are Yet you are No more tears, my dear No more tears, my dear No more tears my dear, my dear Be strong for your brother and your sister Take care of your mother You have to be the strong one now Don't cry 'Cause they can't see you cry now And all of our ladies in waiting Say it's time for them to go And I tell them, "Hey, it's okay." I'd rather be alone to talk to your ghost All lyrics and music © Just Plain Sarah 2004
