lyrics
CHORUS
Maxine
I'm asking please
Maxine
I'm on my knees
VERSE ONE
Up all night with the paper boys
Trying to speak your mind
Take you seriously
You are substance, they're all noise
You're just trying to find
What lies beneath
[CHORUS]
VERSE TWO
Your soul burns of the midnight oil,
And you're the first to rise
Hum-b-ly
Meet me in the dark of the parking lot
With those electric eyes
I seen on TV
CHORUS TWO
Maxine
I'm coming clean
Maxine
Hey now, Maxine
BRIDGE
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa-woo-whoa
Maxine!
VERSE THREE
I still watch you on TV
Though I'm no longer free
You're so mean
And now those foolish paper boys
Take you seriously
You are queen, you are queen
CHORUS THREE
Maxine
I'm asking please
Maxine
I'm on my knees
I'm coming clean
Hey now, Maxine
You are so mean
You are the queen
