March 8, 1998
To be sung loud and fast, a sassy girl-group sound:
VERSE:
They say he’s a cruiser, a good-for-nothing user
They tell me he’s a tar-pit of deception and guile
But I can judge him better than the law of the letter
I sink into his wink because I’m stuck on his smile
CHORUS:
So I’m his co-dependent co-defendant
Yeah, I’m the kind of girl he can count on
I’m his co-dependent co-defendant
He stands for everything I sit down on
VERSE:
He cheated on his wife but that’s the story of his life
But then he tripped on Linda Tripp and she pushed “record”
But they won’t take him to the cleaners for high crimes and misdemeanors
I don’t have Betty Currie’s worries, I’ll just fall on his sword
CHORUS:
And be his co-dependent co-defendant
He’s finally found a girl he can count on
I’m his co-dependent co-defendant
He stands for everything I sit down on
BRIDGE:
My friends say, “Monica, Monica, you’re Betty not Veronica
You need to have a practical plan!”
I know it’s all true, but what else can I do?
I’m just another little fish who’s been hooked by that man!
Obstruction of justice may make people mistrust us
But that Nero is my hero and I love to feed him grapes
I know he’s gonna wail until they let me out of jail
We’re registered at Sak’s and mom is shopping for drapes
CHORUS:
’Cause I’m his co-dependent co-defendant
I’ll always be the girl he can count on
I’m his co-dependent co-defendant
He stands for everything I sit down on
Oh yeah, he proudly stands
He steadfastly stands
He stands for everything I sit down on
