  • Daddy's home for the first time in weeks
    Got the dinner on the table, tell the kids it's time to eat
    And I made my baby's favorite, but he didn't seem to care
    I just tell myself he's jet-lagged and I'm glad to have him here

    Then you showed me a photo on Instagram
    It was how you grabbed your phone back right out of my hands

    So I read your text, and now I regret it
    I can't get my head 'round how you've been playing tennis
    If it was just sex, I wouldn't be jealous
    You won't play with me
    And who's Madeline?

    I need to be alone, so I took myself to bed
    I got a lot of information, now I can't even process
    So I wrote a little email and I told you what I saw
    Then you came up to the bedroom and you made it all my fault

    But you moved the goalposts, you've broken the rules
    I tried to accommodate but you took me for a fool

    So I read your text, and now I regret it
    I can't get my head 'round how you've been playing tennis
    If it was just sex, I wouldn't be jealous
    You won't play with me
    And who the fuck is Madeline?

    Da, da-da, da-da-da, who's Madeline? (Who's Madeline?)
    Da, da-da, da-da-da, who's Madeline? (Who's Madeline?)
    Da, da-da, da-da-da, who's Madeline? (Who's Madeline?)
    Da, da-da, da-da-da, who's Madeline? (No, but who is Madeline, actually?) Writer/s: Chloe Christina Angelides, Lily Rose Beatrice Allen, Maaike Kito Lebbing, Samuel Blue May
