| Stay with me when I try
|
| To tell you how it is
|
| Become the one that knows it all
|
| And you will never miss
|
| It’s too early for leaving
|
| And too late to make friends
|
| You checked in to Astoria
|
| And ran up quite a bill and then
|
| At Betty Ford, you saw his will
|
| You fixed him up with sweeter pills
|
| You stood in line, you took his hand
|
| And swore to stay forever
|
| Black widow with sparkling eyes
|
| Blows a poisoned kiss
|
| Set them up and you suck them dry
|
| That’s your only wish
|
| Too early for leaving
|
| And too late to make friends
|
| Your touch was unforgiving
|
| And you can not make amends
|
| You were sublime
|
| The perfect crime
|
| You slipped a pill into his wine
|
| And every day, you had your way
|
| But swore to stay forever
|
| Now your life is easy
|
| When you’re back out on the street
|
| Musicals on Broadway and you’re buying front row seats
|
| Meet him at the station
|
| Whoever’s next in line
|
| Pockets full of money
|
| And an ocean full of wine
|
| Couldn’t have been more discreet
|
| Wel, it could have been me
|
| You were sublime
|
| The perfect crime
|
| You slipped a pill into his wine
|
| And every day, you had your way
|
| But swore to stay forever
|
| You were sublime
|
| Perfect crime
|
| Poisoned kiss
|
| Set them up
|
| Suck them dry |
