Ute Lemper - Tango Ballad lyrics
There was a time, and now it's all gone by When we two lived together, she and I The way we were, was just the way to be I cared for her, and she took care of me And that arrangement seemed to work perfectly The milkman rang the bell, I got out of bed I opened up her purse, paid him what he said I had a glass of milk, and back in bed I'd climb You understand she was out working all the time And so we lived, me and my little mouse In that snug two by four where we kept house That was a time, and now it's all gone by When we were poor but happy, he and I But when the day would bring no job to me He'd curse and say how lazy can you be I'll let him huff and puff I've worked long enoguh But when he drank too much, I'd get kinda grim And shout the house down how I stood a clown like him And then he'd turn around and try to bite my arm And I would kick him in the teeth, meaning no harm It was so sweet to be his little spouse In that foul two by four where played house Oh happy time and now it's all gone by Until we quit each other, you and I You stayed in bed all day and don't you smirk You know we said that you'd do all the work Now sleep's for the night they say It ain't bad by day So then I had my fill, swore I wouldn't stir It looked like soon I would be taking care of her You'd think a woman had a right to have one gripe You left me flat. Well I just ain't the working type We locked the door and each commenced to roam Goodbye sweet two by four that we called home |
