All your bitterness and lies. Sting like tears in my eyes. And a thousand love-sick tunes. Won't wash away the wounds from my mind. You've been seen around you're a new sensation. You got a better deal and you took his invitation. You've been sitting on his lap and taking his dictation. Oh but mercy we used to love all day and drive all night. Oh mercy jealousy used to whet your appetite. Oh mercy we were low as dogs and high as kites. Why must I plead with you darling. Why must I plead with you darling. Why must I plead with you darling. For what's already mine. Well my friends are indiscreet. And I sing myself to sleep. I don't mind the red wine. Or the pick-up line as long as it's cheap. Oh I ask you what's what and you say I'm all yours. I ask who your friend is and you say it's Santa Claus. I ask you to come home you say you're tired of being indoors. Oh but mercy you know you signed on that dotted line. Oh mercy you signed yours and I signed mine. Oh mercy you said forever till the end of time. Oh why must I plead with you darling. Why must I plead with you darling. Oh why must I plead with you darling. For what's already mine. I said why must I plead with you darling. For what's already mine
