bob pendarvis: songs

i wrote this song years and years ago and recorded it several times. it was written about a friend who, whether she'll ever admit it or not, is the living embodiment of the phrase "high maintenance". not that that's always a bad thing...

best check your watch
and don't be late
the lady never
likes to wait

make sure you say
she looks real nice
might even want
to tell her twice

one more thing
you'd better do
i'd bring a gift
if i were you

there's no excuse
and no defense
her majesty
is high maintenance
don't bother using
common sense
her majesty
is high maintenance

it is well known
throughout the land
her slightest wish
is your command

so many moods
will come and go
first she'll say yes
and then it's no

you'd better learn
she's never wrong
if you forget
you won't last long

(chorus)

well, i can see it
in your eyes
all that i've said
is no surprise

you know i'd kill
to take your place
but i could never
reach first base

though she can drive
you up the wall
a kiss from her
is worth it all

(chorus)
