Mrs. Kennedy stands
With a man built for two
Though she wishes she could just stand alone
And she throws a big party
Though the life of the party
Is a man who showed up late
So she retires to her rooms
With a bed built for one
Pushed together
With a similar bed
And she knows that the home
That she built for a man
Built for two
Won't draw him in
God knows
God knows
God knows
God knows
God knows, she'll try it again
Mrs Kennedy dies as she lives
In the shadows
Of the stature
Of her man
And she hears the same story
Told the same way
Which amounts to a number of laughs
Which is worse than a debutante
Drinking champagne
It pains her
To admit that is her
Cuffed to world
Filled with "this's" and "that's"
And meaningless party talk
Who knows
Who knows
Who knows
Who knows
Who knows what any of it means
She's drinking her wine
While he smokes cigarettes
Laughing
With all of his friends
And he'll never quite know
Just how much she burns
And yearns
To be a different wife
'Cuz the life of the party
Takes all the life
From the party
That is her life
But it's more like a funeral
'Cuz she's slowly dying
When will it end
Mrs. Kennedy is dying to know
She's stuck in a bedroom
She's stuck in a kitchen
She's stuck in a party
The life of the party
She can't bare it
She simply can't bare it
She simply can't see him
When she's sitting beside him
The man she once wanted
The man she once knew
The man who is haunting
And turning her blue
The love of my life
Is the life of the party
But it's a party
Party for one
'Cuz you say that you love me
And I know that you love me
You also love to preform
So I sit in the corner
And take all the pictures
And keep my hands to myself
Poor Mrs. Kennedy
I bet if he killed her
She wouldn't die good enough
She knows
She knows
She knows
She knows
Mrs. Kennedy
Know what I mean
