A Cosmopolitan a Manhattan
|
Call me one
|
Pour a round for me and my friends
|
Cape Cod Sea Breeze
|
Long Island Ice Teas
|
I won't go there or drink it if you paid me
|
|
When they come to waylay me
|
When the close in for the capture
|
I did it all
|
I did it all
|
For the love and the laughter
|
I did it all
|
I did it all
|
I did it all
|
|
Slept in late
|
Stayed up for days
|
Partied hard
|
Lived my twenties in haze
|
Smoked second-hand in crowded bars
|
With the A-list of B-list movie stars
|
|
When they come to arrest me
|
Pat me down and undress me
|
I'll confess without Miranda
|
Strike a pose for the tabloid cameras
|
I did it all
|
I did it all
|
I did it all
|
|
I did it all
|
I didn't ask permission
|
I did it all
|
What kind of life
|
Is not an exhibition
|
I did it all
|
Crash and burn
|
And then you know you're living
|
I did it all
|
Some pain a few tears but after
|
I did it all
|
To the last line of the final chapter
|
I did it all
|
I did it all
|
|
My heart is a wound that festers
|
Seduced my share in silk and polyester
|
Oh my great loves
|
And my few losses
|
I'll tell it all
|
When my little black book is published
|
|
When they come to interview me
|
For my made-for-tv movie
|
Say I'm the bitch who was a bastard
|
Who did it all for the love and laughter
|
I did it all
|
I did it all
|
I did it all
|
