If you ever leave me, girl
[Instrumental intro] Verse 1 If you ever leave me, girl, I won’t shave my beard in pain, Won’t wander lonely through the rain, Cursing your name around the world. No, I’ll write it in the daily news, I’ll shout it on the radio blues — How you stripped me down bare and free, How you’re a snake, cold-blooded, see? [Instrumental] [Chorus] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I’ll write it in the daily news, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I’ll shout it on the radio blues Verse 2 You chased me like a shadow near, A viper hiding under here, You watched me with those wicked eyes, Licking ice cream, feeding lies... You took your clothes off, showed your skin, Your shameless flesh, your guilty sin, You splashed your lust and dirty touch, Your hunger, baby, way too much... [Instrumental] [Chorus] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I’ll write it in the daily news, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I’ll shout it on the radio blues Verse 3 But I’m your cross, your secret sign, You come back — I forgive in time, I feed you sweets, that Eastern bliss, Sherbets, candies, sugar kiss, Cocktails, ice cream by the plate, Sweetest cakes to decorate. I’ll forget your dirty tricks — While you get fat on tasty licks, Verse 4 Your hooves, your belly, your greedy face — And then I’ll leave you, no embrace. And you… you’ll get it, understand — What a good man you had on hand... But girl, by then it’s way too late! [Instrumental] [Chorus] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh then I’ll leave you Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh then you’ll get it, understand [Chorus] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh While you get fat on tasty licks Your hooves, your belly, your greedy face And then I’ll leave you, no embrace [Instrumental] [Instrumental outro]
