Now You're Gorgeous, Now You're Gone

Joe Firstman
Album : The War Of Women

Lost your way
Found another man's bed instead
Yes you did
And his shoulder was free
But he can't sing as good as me
And my mama still asks about you
Instead all my speeches
Sound better as lines
It all went to hell when you got your pictures
Because you finally believed me
When I said that you were so pretty
It all went to hell when you got your nerve
Because you realized that I don't deserve you
And that's for damn sure
Instead my love letters
Read better as lines
Now you're gorgeous
Now you're gone
Love you better
Now that you're sleeping around
Now you're gorgeous
Now you're gone
Now you're gorgeous
And I'm drinking alone
I gladly would grieve you
But I can't perceive you
By and by I will
I gladly would save you
But I can't behave
I'm working on it
Instead all my love letters
Read better as lines
Now you're gorgeous
Now you're gone
Love you better
Since you're sleeping around
Now you're gorgeous
Now you're gone
Now you're gorgeous
And dancing alone
Now you're gorgeous
Now you're gone
Love you better
Since you're sleeping around
Now you're priceless
And I'm so very poor
You were gorgeous
And I'm drinking alone
