| I lent you a hand but you never gave it back
|
| I lent you a hand but you never gave it back
|
| You said you had grown very fond of my fingers
|
| The way that the touch of the tips of them lingers
|
| And you couldn’t possibly part with them now
|
| Carry them 'round
|
| In your handbag
|
| And I lent you a light when everything round you was black
|
| And I lent you a light when everything round you was black
|
| You light your cigarettes ts ts
|
| (You said you had grown very fond of my fingers
|
| The way that the touch of the tips of them lingers)
|
| And then you left
|
| And you need a place to put your hands
|
| I said you could lay 'em on my hips
|
| You need a place to put your kisses
|
| I said you could use my lips
|
| Oh I lent you a shoulder, a shoulder to lean upon
|
| I said you could keep it until you were feeling strong
|
| But you’ve taken advantage of my kind loan
|
| You carry it 'round town, pass it off as your own
|
| And everyone thinks that you’re so very kind
|
| But nobody knows that that shoulder is mine
|
| And you need a place to put your hat
|
| I said you could lay it right there
|
| You were looking for some thing to do
|
| With all those things that trouble you
|
| I said I would lend you an ear
|
| But worst of all I gave you my heart
|
| 'Cause yours wasn’t working too good
|
| But I am not spare parts
|
| For you to use, and you to use, like your
|
| (do-do-do-do)
|
| You use me and you lose me yeah you do |
