lyrics

You want to come back to the big city
And you want to see the people in your mind
This time I was watching you get into the car
With the group of people you could find
I thought to myself, 'You're not in this for yourself;
You want all the people left behind'
You could've just walked away or gotten into the car
With the people you designed
It would've been easier and wouldn't have cost as much
As the car and house combined
I didn't know what else to do with the rest of my time
So my car became enshrined
You weren't afraid to come and see me dispel myths
About who your car was made to blind
I take the bus if I'm inclined

Alejandra, Alejandra
Alright, alright
Alejandra, Alejandra
Tonight, tonight
Alejandra, Alejandra
Dog bite, dog bite
Alejandra, Alejandra
Egg white, egg white

I'm not a professional. I'm just a mom of three
Who wants to share my life with you
You wanted to come, but it was going to be a long trip
To share with people too
I took you to grocery stores and laundromats
And you came back to share your good shampoo
You brought up how great my car is and it was perfect
For you to share with Linda Sue
I couldn't believe how you bought everything you could
Without a second overview
I'd be surprised if your car has even one defect
Of any second-hand canoe
Your car wouldn't even break down on the way back
From the 22nd Avenue
You didn't agree with the crew

Alejandra, Alejandra
Alright, alright
Alejandra, Alejandra
Tonight, tonight
Alejandra, Alejandra
Dog bite, dog bite
Alejandra, Alejandra
Egg white, egg white
