《The Heel(Remastered 2001)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Heel - Eartha Kitt/Henri Rene

[00:00:00] Written by：Léo Ferré/Willard Rob

[00:00:10] 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

[00:00:15] He slammed 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

[00:00:34] 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 gets will be a date

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

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

[00:00:45] Her 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 room I hear a laugh

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

[00:01:03] I ring my hands and walk the floor

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

[00:01:06] For 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

[00:01:25] There'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

[00:01:30] And who's the leader of the pack

[00:01:32] The heel

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

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

[00:01:40] And as I take it from the tin

[00:01:41] I 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

[00:01:50] 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 perk

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

[00:02:01] But when he starts to drink it up

[00:02:03] I'll grab his hand and break the cup

[00:02:08] 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

[00:02:13] Why don't I just pack up and leave

[00:02:16] The heel

[00:02:19] But no he's really on the stair

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

[00:02:23] 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

[00:02:31] Where it will end is up to fate

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

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

[00:02:37] To the heel

[00:02:40] Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
