Lyrics In the Lurch - Carmen McRae, Dave Brubeck Quartet

In the Lurch

in the lurch
caught standing in the shadow of the church
just like a lovebird pining on his perch
wheres my mate
must i always wait
so now ill just reverse
that old cliche that gal intends to make
the piper paid
then ill be on my way
its touche
if hes gonna play
i think ive waited long enough
for him to come
some guys somewhere will want some… one
to love as i love him
tied up sittin gon a limb
though im burned
ill talk it up to one more lesson learned
and wonder why my heart cant be returned
i might need it someday
(instruemtnal break)
i think ive waited long enough
for him to come
some guys somewhere will want some… one
to love as i love him
tied up sittin gon a limb
though im burned
ill talk it up to one more lesson learned
and wonder why my heart cant be returned
i might need it someday
i might need it someday
i might need it someday
i might need it someday
