She said, "it's just a woman thing,"
and pulled out of the drive
i said not to worry
i'm and understanding guy
i heard that when you love someone
you gotta let them go
she hollered, "when i find myself
you'll be the first to know."
ooo-hooo no news
I've learned to do the laundry
feed the cat and clean the house
i promised to be patient
while she worked her problems out
when she packed her bags
her destination was unclear
but i sensed that her intentions
were honest and sincere
ooo-hooo no news
(chorus)
she could telephone, tell a friend
tell a lie about where she's been
send a pigeon, send a fax
write it on a postal pack
send a signal up in smoke
tap it out in morse code
i'd prefer a bad excuse
To no news
Her momma's been a little vauge
as to her whereabouts
her sister says, "i'm certain
your romance is headed south."
i don't have a single doubt
that she's still in love
my level of anxiety
is just a product of
ooo-hooo no news
(repeat chorus)
She missed her bus, missed her plane
surely, this can be explained
lost her car at the mall
got lost in a bathroom stall
joined a cult, joined the klan
on the road with pearl jam
buried with the grateful dead
came back as a parrot head
got derailed, got de-iced
offered as a sacrafice
fbi, cia, if they've seen her
they ain't saying
no news! still no news!
