The pawnbroker he just roared And it was good for the landlord To see me so crazy, Wasn't it? Both were so glad To see me lose everything I had Pain sure brings out the best in people, now, 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 asking me If something happened, I got to say And you, I see you're still with her, well That's fine 'cause she's comin' on so strange, can't you tell? I think you better explain What she should really do with her iron chain I'd do it before, but I just can't remember how Talk to her You're her lover now Yes I, I've already assumed That we weren't in the felony room But I ain't the judge, you don't have to be nice to me Will you please tell that To your friend with the cowboy hat He keeps on sayin' everything twice to me You know I was straight with you You know I never tried to change you in any way You know if you didn't want to be with me That you didn't have to stay. Now you stand here sayin' you forgive me, well What can I say? And you, you just sit around and ask for ashtrays,well, can't you reach? I see you kiss her on the cheek everytime she gives a speech With her picture books of the pyramid And snapshots of billy the kid They're all nice but I refuse to stand here and bow Explain it to her You're her lover now And everybody that cares I see them goin' up the castle stairs But I'm not up in your castle, honey Can't recall San Francisco at all I can't even remember El Paso, uh , honey You know you never had to be faithful I never expect you to grieve Oh, why was it so hard to you If you didn't want to be there, just to leave? Now you stand here With you finger's goin' up my sleeve And you, just what you do, anyway? What are you, some kind of moose, Ain't there nothing you can say? She'll be standin' on the bar soon With a fish head and a harpoon An' a fake beard plastered on her brow You'd better do something You're her lover now Why must I fall for this madness? Do I look like Charles Atlas? Do you think I still got what you still got, honey? Her voice is really warm (Oh, right)
