I turn the bathroom light on
To take my make up off
Look at myself in the eye
I wonder why I wear it anyway
Another car drives by
I wonder where you are
The kids are all in bed
And everything but you is in its place

From the street view lookin' in
It's pretty as a picture
Our home sweet home

Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin'
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat

Passed down from my mom
She wore it so well
She'd rest it on my shoulders
Say it's colder out there than you think

Would I recognize myself?
Would anybody else
If I took the damn thing off
And burned it?

Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin'
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat

Oh, this damn sugar coat

In one of these nights I'll meet you in the driveway
And tell you to go to hell
Go to hell

Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin'
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat

This damn sugar coat
Oh, this sugar coat
This damn sugar coat
