william finn – i feel him slipping away lyrics

Loading...

[wife]
we’ve been married for ten years
eight were fine; and six were not
it seemed longer than ten years
what i recall is better forgot

the first two were the best years:
when the kid was born
when the word seemed okay

but i
i felt him slipping away
i felt him die in my arms
his charms
were not for me
how could i ever compete?
the cause of all his l-st-
she must
be sweet…

…and maybe too old
she might have a limp
or she might have
acne, or polio, or something

if the lady’s just an -ss-
say she dotes on cops and g-men-
let’s suppose she’s lower cl-ss-
how’d he choose her over me then?

(spoken)
he used to love me
he used to love me
he used to love me

[goldberg, spoken]
ah, don’t be pathetic

[sweetheart, spoken]
she’s so pathetic

[wife]
is it hard to deceive me?
no, just bring a note from home
he could just as well leave me;
when he’s with us
he’s somewhere alone

[goldberg and sweetheart]
you’ll be fine…

[wife]
i’ll be fine if he leaves me
but, i’m sure he won’t
trouble is we don’t say
but i…

[ladies]
i felt him slipping away
i felt him die in my arms
his charms
were not for me
no. no. no. no. no
how
could i ever compete?
the cause of all his l-st?
she must
be sweet

[wife]
the b-tch might be dumb
she might think he’s kris kringle
and honest
and single

[sweetheart and goldberg]
he will not admit the truth

[wife]
he thinks i might like surprise

[sweetheart and goldberg]
why are men so d-mn uncouth?

[wife]
oh…

[all]
all they every tell are lies!

[wife]
i feel him slipping away
i feel him dead in my arms
his charms
are not for me
how
can i ever compete?
the cause of all his l-st
she must
be sweet…

(spoken)
liar!!!
