Текст песни:

[Verse 1: Jon Fratelli]
Pull me up a chair and keep your money, there's no guarantees
Won’t you please forgive me but you know cold blooded women make me sneeze
And I’ll kick you out the door if for just one minute you lie
And they’ll come crashing through the wall and leave you crawling til’ the minute you die
Pour yourself a drink or three and maybe we’ll think clearer for a while
You may be an embarrassment but I love the way your clothes are never in style
Livings much too easy, dying would be some kind of bore
Well, you swear that you’re original but I know I’ve seen those jealous eyes before

[Chorus]
So steal the watch from off my wrist
Oh, and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days
And they wouldn’t understand
Gypsy blood will get you far
And will not miss you when you go
[Verse 2]
Tear another hole in my brown shoes and we can all sleep for a while
Well I told you once before, I love your braces and your hesitant smile
But please don’t get me wrong, it's only right that you can stamp on my heart
Well I’ve seen you and your friends some place, you know I just can’t tell you apart

[Refrain]
And though they'll hunt you like a dog they won’t take you alive
'Cause you made them piles of money stacked up, twenty stories high
And the boys in every bar, they will not miss you when you go

[Chorus]
So steal the watch from off my wrist
Oh, and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days, and they wouldn’t understand
Gypsy blood will get you far, though it’s far away from me
Look me up when you get home and maybe then we'll see

[Outro]
Though they’ll hunt you like a dog, they won’t take you alive
'Cause you made them piles of money
Stacked up twenty stories high
And the boys from every bar
Well, they’ll miss you when you’re gone
You can tell a heady tale
And we'll all keep screaming on
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la

  • If I had an audience I’d cover my face Lock away myself In a lonesome place If I’d had a premonition Of how this would be I would still have begged And took you home with me Still have done it all Done it hopelessly And bury myself where no eye could see Well I lost my heart when my back was turned If you see it could you let me know? And if you’ve got to leave me, baby Won’t you do it slow? If I had a crystal ball I still wouldn’t see it all I swear I didn’t do it Just to make you crawl And if I had a audience I’d ask them to leave How can I give them what I can’t receive? How can I pray when I just don’t believe? And sometimes it takes All your heart just to breath Well I lost my heart when my back was turned If you see it could you let me know And if you’ve got to leave me baby Won’t you do it slow? There’s nothing I wouldn’t give in this whole world To be the man you met long ago And if you’ve got to leave me baby Won’t you do it slow? If you’ve got to leave me baby Won’t you do it slow? Don’t let me see Don’t linger at my door Tell me again Was it to you I swore That no one would play With your heart anymore? Well I lost my heart when my back was turned If you see it could you let me know And if you’ve got to leave me baby Won’t you do it slow? If you’ve got to leave me baby Won’t you do it slow? If you’ve got to leave me baby Won’t you do it slow? If you’ve got to leave me baby Won’t you do it slow?
  • Well little girl you can roll your eyes at the very sight of me Do everything in spite of me But baby don’t you lie to me I’ll take your mood swings I’ll dig a hole in your dishonesty I will kneel down in your company But baby don’t you lie to me I’ll be your red-cheeked lover And your man of regret There’ll be no desert too dry and no ocean too wet I’ll be your punchbag substitute I’ll sharpen your claws When you come tumbling down you’re still in my thoughts Well there’s just one thing baby I could never abide No matter how much you beg no matter how hard you try You can tell me that I’ll never be free But baby don’t you lie to me Well little sister I can handle the thought of you despising me Dancin’ on my grave and baptising me As long as baby you don’t lie to me I’ll bend until you have broken my will I’ll be no enemy You’ll never hear so much as a complaint from me As long as baby you don’t lie to me Well you can take my house Don’t take my pride Take all my valentines cards and tear them open wide Chase my friends, ruin my name I won’t ever fight back I’ll be easy to blame Well there’s just one thing baby I will always despise Not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes I got only one reasonable plea Baby don’t you lie to me Burn my house, throw me out, pull me down, sell my clothes I’ll dig you out of a hole when your ignorance shows I’ll be anything you need me to be Baby don’t you lie to me Every time your lips move baby Someone somewhere’s bound to cry I don’t even think you’re quite aware of how or why Life for you could be so easy If you’d only shut your mouth Every time you feel those words come Runnin’ out [x12] Ahhhhh There’s just one thing baby I could never abide No matter how much you beg no matter how hard you try You can tell me that I’ll never be free Baby don’t you lie to me Drag my name and reputation over the cold hard stones Break my heart up into pieces honey Shatter my bones You can kill me with your repartee, Baby don’t you lie to me Well there’s just one thing baby I will always despise Not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes I got only one reasonable plea Baby don’t you lie to me Burn my house, throw me out, pull me down, sell my clothes Oh Yeah! I’ll dig you out of a hole when your ignorance shows I’ll be anything you need me to be Baby don’t you lie to me
  • Oh I miss the womb Put me back and make it soon Where’s my bliss, what’s this sound Have you seen my solid ground All is nothing being everything Tell me why, tell me when Naked soup, tasteless bread Can I have your life instead I’m the singer, I’m the song Give it up, give it up Do me right and do me wrong Give it up, give it up Won’t you take me home please Make me feel something real Sing me from your window Let me be your side show Let me be the one to say I told you so I told you so Oh I spoke too soon All these answers make me swoon Where’s my fire, what’s this noise Is this even my own voice All is nothing though I don’t know why Please don’t let this pass me by Where’s my bliss, what’s this sound Have you seen my solid ground I’m the singer, I’m the song Give it up, give it up Do me right and do me wrong Give it up, give it up Won’t you take me home please Make me feel something real Sing me from your window Let me be your side show Let me be the one to say I told you so I told you so Baby you’re a bad man Everybody knows Better take what you can steal Before that hurricane blows You were there when Adam fell from bliss And no one knew your name Better leave now from the way you came Kneel down Make no sound Here comes your last time around Take that smile from off your lips Where you going time just slips
  • You wear your mask, I’ll wear mine They don’t come cheap, but they fit just fine You can be her and I can be him We can both sink when the rest don’t swim Little by little by little by little by little by little by little Little by little by little by little by little by all day long We can pretend that our fates are entwined The beautiful lies the beautiful kind Everybody knows that the sun still sets And everybody gives and everybody gets Little by little by little by little by little by little by little Little by little by little by little by little by all day long Little by little by little by little by little by little by little Little by little by little by little by little by all day long I can be the one that you just can’t shake Till you swear that your eyes go blind We can disappear till the sun burns a hole In the life that we left behind And I just won’t stop till my heart gives way And you and I are a long lost myth There’s nothing very much that I wouldn’t do To be the last of the men that you romanced with The last of the men that you romanced with Little by little by little by little by little by little by little Little by little by little by little by little by all day long Little by little by little by little by little by little by little Little by little by little by little by little by all day long You wear your mask I’ll wear mine They don’t come cheap but they fit just fine We can pretend that our fates are entwined The beautiful lies the beautiful kind
  • Saw the night give way Where the light was golden So I took my leave Of all that I was holding Darling come the day When your nightmares fall I’ll be on that first plane home And we’ll outrun them all Well I guess it’s sweet We still live like strangers in the street It’s the cruelest thing When the word is spoken I swear it’s a sin To see you heartbroken Darling come the day It’s too much to breathe I’ll hold this space for you And I won’t let you leave I will keep the beat We’ll still move like strangers in the street Darling come the time When you slip away I’ll be that whispered word That hangs around your doorway Our tale complete We’ll still dance like strangers in the street
