I've had my fill of ugly words
|
I've had my fill of lies
|
When the only truth or beauty now
|
Is deep within your thighs
|
The roses are in bloom my dear
|
I haven't any fear
|
That you'll love me
|
Like you did last year
|
|
Look at me
|
Do you see
|
A man against the world
|
But don't look at me
|
And see an unhappy man
|
With some powder and some paint
|
And the patience of a saint
|
I'm still here
|
|
My life's not over yet
|
I'm not up there on the shelf
|
I've found someone to love
|
Apart from just myself
|
|
I've had my fill of bitterness
|
I've had my fill of dirt
|
I've had enough of emptiness
|
I've had enough of hurt
|
I think we'll get the last laugh
|
If we don't break down and cry
|
|
And find the joke's
|
On you and I
|
Look at us
|
Do you see us in a burlesque show
|
Look at us are we in vaudeville
|
We've tasted every thrill
|
Every powder every pill
|
And we're still here
|
|
I've had enough of broken cups
|
I've had enough of scenes
|
Of other people's laughter
|
When we go through our routines
|
The lilies aren't in season
|
So I've no reason to fear
|
That you'll love me like you
|
Did last year
|
That you'll love me like you
|
Did last year
|
That you'll love me like you
|
Did last year
|
