Bring the House Down

Well....you told me you loved me
With blue eyes of pure devotion
And my heart got caught up  
In that rich emotion

Now you put love down
Without any hesitation
Well....don't expect me
To give you a standing ovation

But you sure know oh oh 
How to bring the house down
If hurting me was in your lines
You did 'em up right when you bowed out

I thought I had an angel
Waiting in the wings
Then I saw a devil
Pull the curtain strings

Yeah you sure know oh oh
How to bring the house down

That academy award
You are holding now
You won him girl
Go ahead a take your bow

You've got actors
On your left and on your right
And you're center stage
In a sordid spotlight

And you sure know oh oh
How to bring the house down

Nicely worded with some vitriolic language... you're better off without her. Best wishes, Keith
