《The Heel》歌词

[00:00:02] The Heel - Eartha Kidd

[00:00:03] Written by：Robinson Wilson Fere/Robinson

[00:00:11] The one who has me for his own

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

[00:00:14] In his blue suit and his new tie

[00:00:16] He slams the door without goodbye

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

[00:00:22] Tonight I'm melancholy mean

[00:00:24] He meets in secret rendezvous

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

[00:00:28] The heel

[00:00:32] He'll promise her most anything

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

[00:00:35] She'll find him out when it's too late

[00:00:37] And all she'll get will be the date

[00:00:42] But while the dawn's a distant thing

[00:00:44] In his embrace her heart will sing

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

[00:00:47] And all too soon a woman cries

[00:00:50] The heel

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

[00:00:55] Ignite my room with double glow

[00:00:57] And in the gloom I hear a laugh

[00:00:59] It's coming from his photograph

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

[00:01:05] And swear to even up the score

[00:01:07] But where a kitten cried tonight

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

[00:01:11] The heel

[00:01:15] I dare not play my radio

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

[00:01:18] I'm sick of playing solitaire

[00:01:20] 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

[00:01:28] They all turn out to be jet black

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

[00:01:33] The heel

[00:01:36] At dawn I know he'll stagger in

[00:01:38] Demanding coffee black as sin

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

[00:01:41] I'll slip a little powder in

[00:01:46] He'll look at me and start to cry

[00:01:48] And 'cross his heart and hope to die

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

[00:01:51] But I've been on a business deal

[00:01:54] The heel

[00:01:58] Then as the pot begins to perc

[00:01:59] I know my plan will never work

[00:02:01] 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

[00:02:09] That brought my thinking down so low

[00:02:11] 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

[00:02:21] I'll try to act like I don't care

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

[00:02:24] I find it takes two heels to click

[00:02:29] 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

[00:02:34] I'll be the chewing gum that clings

[00:02:36] To the heel
