The One Who Has Me For His Own
It's too late and all she'll get will be the date
But while it dawns a distant thing in his embrace
Her heart will swing, her dizzy head will spin with lies
And all too soon a woman cries
The neon lights that flash below
Ignite my room with double glow
And in the gloom I hear a laugh
It's coming from his photograph
I wring my hands and walk the floor
And swear to even off the score
For where a kitten cried tonight
A panther wants the floor and to bite
The heel
I dare not play my radio
And walk and plate and I don't go
I'm sick of playing solitaire
The ace of spades, it's everywhere
There'll be no sleep for me tonight
The sheep I count, they're never white
They all turn out to be jet black
And who's the leader of the pack?
The heel
And don't I know you're staggering
Demanding coffee black
As I take it from the tin
I'll slip a little powder in
He'll look at me and start to cry
And cross his heart and hope to die
And mumble, I know how you feel
But I've been on a business deal
The heel
But as the pot begins to perk
I know my plan will never work
When he starts to drink it up
I'll *** his hand and break the call
It's only jealousy I know
That brought my thinking down so low
Why do I wait for him?
And grieve?
Why don't I just pack up and leave the heel?
But now he's really on the stair
I try to act like I don't care
In my heart's arithmetic
I find it takes two heels to click
We're in a world of love and hate
Where blame is up to fate
I'll let him have his little fling
I'll be the chewing gum that clings to the heel
I'll be the chewing gum that clings to the heel
