作曲 : Burt Bacharach He's given me things you never would have And if you did you'd want them back Forgiven me things I didn't know that I had done, but just faded to black
He's given me time and consolation Some verses to read and lines to say I will stay here for a while now He call me "child" now But it works that way
He's given me things you couldn't guess at I don't mean jewels although they were fine A way to depart, one way to enter A right to dismiss upon a whim When I close the door and you're supposing I kick up my heels and then I scream "Why was I chosen?" You'll never know What I give to him
He's given me things you never thought of Because they were not yours to give So take this pill and tranquilize And roll your eyes at the husbands Not the customer's wives
He's forgiven me trials and tears and tantrums And even all my false alarms You sat there amused while I was crying And just seemed to sigh but that's money can buy And now I know why I come back to him And now I know why you'll never do Who are you? Out there with one penny You are so many And we are so few
So cover the canvas if you're leaving There's a bowl in the hallways to wash your hands If the waters runs black please leave some silver Then step past the glass and never come back I'm living up here and you can see me Yes, you can look but you can't touch 'Cause you don't belong, the air is thin here You may asphyxiate my dear For didn't you tell me "You should hold me" "Oh please, you must hold me, as if I were hung" To think you were exciting when love was frightening But I was so young
He's given me things you never dreamed of Where hopes are dashed and trash is praised He has an awful lot of money The past can be bought and then erased
