So color me bitter... |
I’m a rambler i’m a gambler and color me bitter ‘cause i’m just a shell and i have been for years But it doesn’t matter ‘cause i am immortal So color me bitter i’ve done this for years He enters the restaurant to pick up a pizza but the pizza’s not ready so he sits at the bar I watch him with interest and the ring on his finger I swagger on over and sit at the bar Show off an id that don’t know my real age ‘cause no one’d believe that i am that old I’m a rambler i’m a gambler and color me bitter ‘cause i’m just a shell and i have been for years But it doesn’t matter ‘cause i am immortal So color me bitter i’ve done this for years I down my first drink turn towards him and ask if he’ll buy me another and he says he will He races to match me one after another down a slippery throat with no time to think And i goad him quickly for thought serves no purpose or just not with the brain but the two down below I’m a rambler i’m a gambler and color me bitter ‘cause i’m just a shell and i have been for years But it doesn’t matter ‘cause i am immortal So color me bitter i’ve done this for years He’s red-faced and drunk We find somewhere else brushing and rubbing an impersonal place I bite with my nails unmistakable marks just not quite bleeding i’ve done this for years and because he’s so drunk i can get away with taking his ring as with all the others I’m a rambler i’m a gambler and color me bitter ‘cause i’m just a shell and i have been for years But it doesn’t matter ‘cause i am immortal So color me bitter i’ve done this for years I prop him up and carry him back back to the restaurant the pizza long ready His wife is there now angry and pacing i hand him to her and i walk away Husbands and wives the most lazy of lovers I pull them apart and i think it’s great fun I’m a rambler i’m a gambler and color me bitter ‘cause i’m just a shell and i have been for years But it doesn’t matter ‘cause i am immortal So color me bitter i’ve done this for years The ring’s in my pocket Why am i this way Why does it matter it don’t make a difference Would it matter at all if i did it to you and told you sincerely just why i am bitter Oh no no it wouldn’t and god forbid that you cease to condemn Though in my contempt it no longer stings dare to condemn me ‘cause i’m Bitter Jacqueline I’m a rambler i’m a gambler and color me bitter ‘cause i’m just a shell and i have been for years But it doesn’t matter ‘cause i am immortal So color me bitter i’m Bitter Jacqueline |
