Do you remember all the cups of coffee?
Or all the deadly midnight talks?
I’ve got a ghost in the attic and he’s so charismatic
He’s convincing me the way to walk

Do you remember when you said you loved me?
Was there a moment when you thought it was true?
You raised hell like a devil above me
Just by whispering, “I love you”

That was a hoot
I’m laughing
That was a hoot
You’re smiling
That was a hoot
The joke is coming around
That was a hoot
It’s hysterical
That was a hoot
Laughably unbearable
That was a hoot
The way you tore me down

Are you the angel I’ve been searching for?
‘Cause I’ve been telling you that I’m your saint
Years I’ve been searching door to door
But the doorbells are sounding faint

Have you been keeping all track of time?
Have you been watching everything I do?
‘Cause I been talking to dozens of women of mine
But don’t worry ‘cause they’re all you

That was a hoot
I’m laughing
That was a hoot
You’re smiling
That was a hoot
The joke is coming around
That was a hoot
It’s hysterical
That was a hoot
Laughably unbearable
That was a hoot
The way you tore me down

If you’re continuing to bleed my heart
I’ll be dead by the end of the week
To hell with the stop and to hell with the start
These brakes are too antique

Unless you’re planning on to save my soul
I’ve gotta ask why you’re still around
I’ve got a room reserved way down below
And now I’m waiting to hit the ground

That was a hoot
I’m laughing
That was a hoot
You’re smiling
That was a hoot
The joke is coming around
That was a hoot
It’s hysterical
That was a hoot
Laughably unbearable
That was a hoot
The way you tore me down

That was a hoot
