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
+
I didn't want you to grieve
+
Oh, why was it so hard for you
+
If you didn't want to be with me, just to leave?
+
Now you stand here while your finger's goin' up my sleeve
+
An' you, just what do you do anyway? Ain't there nothin' you can say?
+
She'll be standin' on the bar soon
+
With a fish head an' a harpoon
+
An' a fake beard plastered on her brow
+
You'd better do somethin' quick
+
She's your lover now.
