| Lyrics: | The pawnbroker roared
Also, so, so did the landlord
The scene was so crazy, wasn't
it?
Both were so glad
To watch me destroy what I had
Pain sure brings out the best in
people, doesn't it?
Why didn't you just leave me if you didn't want to stay?
Why'd you have
to treat me so bad?
Did it have to be that way?
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember
somethin' you forgot to say
Yes, and you, I see you're still with her, well
That's fine
'cause she's comin' on so strange, can't you tell?
Somebody had better explain
She's got her
iron chain
I'd do it, but I, I just can't remember how
You talk to her
She's your lover
now.
I already assumed
That we're in the felony room
But I ain't a judge, you don't
have to be nice to me
But please tell that
To your friend in the cowboy hat
You know he
keeps on sayin' ev'rythin' twice to me
You know I was straight with you
You know I've never
tried to change you in any way
You know if you didn't want to be with me
That you could . .
. didn't have to stay.
Now you stand here sayin' you forgive and forget. Honey, what can I
say?
Yes, you, you just sit around and ask for ashtrays, can't you reach?
I see you kiss her
on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
With her picture books of the pyramid
And her
postcards of Billy the Kid
(Why must everybody bow?)
You better talk to her 'bout
it
You're her lover now.
Oh, ev'rybody that cares
Is goin' up the castle
stairs
But I'm not up in your castle, honey
It's true, I just can't recall
San Francisco
at all
I can't even remember El Paso, uh, honey
You never had to be faithful |
