Not A Dye Eye In The House

Rewrite of  Meatloaf's classic song by the same name

 

Not gonna be a dye eye in the house

Boy, after I bring love's curtain come tumbling down

Listen and soon you'll hear

Hear the sound of your lyin' heart breakin'

 

I can still see you two standing there

Midnight wind blowin' through her hair

OOoh do you remember?

Those betraying kisses

Bittersweet in the saltly air

Shattered a love I had believed was forever

Ripped a fairy tale page

Made me wanna choke you both blue

The scene will not change

No matter how you cry

To keep me with you

Well I'm just walkin' away

Cause your loverboy act I've seen through

Face it

The ride

The dream is over

Yeah, it's almost like a bad movie

Ooh I've spent too much time

Rehearsing each and every line

Time finally for the real goodbye

 

Chorus

 

Boy, now there won't be a dye eye in the house

After I bring love's curtain tumbling down

Listen and soon you'll hear the sound

Hear the sound of your thiefing heart breaking-Breaking

Cause you were fakin' baby, fakin'

Won't be that cocky smile anymore on your face

The ending will be just so hard to take

And there won't be a dry eye

Not a dye eye tonight in our house

 

The greatest story, baby

Ooh it could have been you and me

We could've had it all

We could've had everything

But now the story and your lies are done

You're just anicent history

Your lame act is so over

 

Your every line now reveals to me

The fakest sound

Your every touch fails anymore

To turn my world upside down

At last I've seen the light

Now it's your world, honey that will crash down

End of the show

We're over

Yeah, it's almost like a bad movie

Those nights you promised me the stars

While you were givin' 'em all to her

Must march on

No time left to stand still for you and I

Now ain't sad enough to make you cry

As you watch your gravey train, baby

Go bye bye bye

 

Chorus

 

Act one-You say your sorry has just begun

 

Act 2-Too late I've fallen outta love with you

 

Act 3-Where did you go with my meant to be?

 

Act 4-OOh no I just can't love you, boy, no more

 

And there won't be a dye eye in the house

Boy, after I send love's curtains tumbling down

Listen and soon you'll hear the sound

Hear the sound of your cheatin' heart breaking-Breaking

Won't be seeing that cocky smile on your handsome face

The ending will be just too sad to take

Yeah, there won't be a dye eye

Not a dye eye

Not a single damn dry eye

In our house

After I send love's curtains tumbling down

Listen and we'll both hear the sound

Hear the sound of a lyin' heart breakin'

Breaking

Won't be a dye eye in the house

Won't be a dye eye in the house

Not a dye eye in our house tonight
