《The Heel》歌词

[00:00:00] The Heel - Eartha Kitt

[00:00:05] Written by：Léo Ferré/Willard Robison

[00:00:10] The one who has me for his own

[00:00:12] Is on the town and I'm alone

[00:00:13] In his blue suit and his new tie

[00:00:15] He slams the door without goodbye

[00:00:20] Tonight my eyes are jealous green

[00:00:21] Tonight I'm melancholy mean

[00:00:23] He meets in secret rendezvous

[00:00:25] Some dame to tell his troubles to

[00:00:28] The heel

[00:00:31] He'll promise her most anything

[00:00:33] A sable coat a diamond ring

[00:00:34] She'll find him out when its too late

[00:00:36] And all she'll get will be the date

[00:00:41] But while the dawn's a distant thing

[00:00:43] In his embrace her heart will sing

[00:00:45] A dizzy head will spin with lies

[00:00:46] And all too soon a woman cries

[00:00:49] The heel

[00:00:53] The neon lights that flash below

[00:00:54] Ignite my room with double glow

[00:00:56] And in the gloom I hear a laugh

[00:00:58] It's coming from his photograph

[00:01:03] I wring my hands and mop the floor

[00:01:04] And swear to even up the score

[00:01:06] But where a kitten cried tonight

[00:01:08] A panther waits to claw and bite

[00:01:10] The heel

[00:01:14] I dare not play my radio

[00:01:16] One more complaint and out I go

[00:01:17] I'm sick of playing solitaire

[00:01:19] The ace of spades is everywhere

[00:01:24] They'll be no sleep for me tonight

[00:01:26] The sheep I count are never white

[00:01:27] They all turn out to be jet black

[00:01:29] And who's the leader of the pack

[00:01:32] The heel

[00:01:35] At dawn I know he'll stagger in

[00:01:37] Demanding coffee black as sin

[00:01:39] And as I take it from the tin

[00:01:40] I'll slip a little powder in

[00:01:45] He'll look at me and start to cry

[00:01:47] And cross his heart and hope to die

[00:01:49] And mumble I know how you feel

[00:01:50] But I've been on a business deal

[00:01:53] The heel

[00:01:57] Then as the pot begins to perc

[00:01:58] I know my plan will never work

[00:02:00] When he starts to drink it up

[00:02:02] I grab his hand and break the cup

[00:02:07] It's only jealousy I know

[00:02:08] That brought my thinking down so low

[00:02:10] Why must I wait for him and grieve

[00:02:12] Why don't I just pack up and leave

[00:02:15] The heel

[00:02:19] But now he's reeling on the stair

[00:02:20] I'll try to act like I don't care

[00:02:22] For in my heart's arithmetic

[00:02:23] I find it takes two heels to click

[00:02:28] We're in a web of love and hate

[00:02:30] Where it will end is up to fate

[00:02:32] I'll let him have his little flings

[00:02:33] I'll be the chewing gum that clings

[00:02:36] To the heel
