110 In The Shade movie - Old Maid lyrics

rate me

<br>

Always being one. <br>

Never being two.<br>

Re-arrange the furniture,<br>

There's nothing else to do. <br>

Keep an empty house.<br>

Watch your brothers wed.<br>

Dream an empty dream at night<br>

Upon an empty bed. <br>

<br>

Old maid! Old maid! <br>

<br>

Growing old alone.<br>

Lonelier with age.<br>

Buy a tiny mockingbird<br>

And lock him in a cage. <br>

<br>

Visiting your kin<br>

Yearly family tours<br>

Mustn't love the kids too much.<br>

They're never really yours. <br>

<br>

Old maid! Old maid! <br>

<br>

Be kind to your poor Aunt Lizzie,<br>

Her nerves are none too good.<br>

She brings you a present when she comes.<br>

Kiss her like you should. <br>

<br>

Be thoughtful and sweet and proper,<br>

Until she goes away.<br>

She's been here a week and a half today.<br>

When will she ever go? <br>

<br>

Go where? Go where? <br>

<br>

My dress is too tight. My skin is alive all over.<br>

It's turning tonight, and yet not a sign of breeze.<br>

I'm all tied up! My clothes seem to be on fire!<br>

They're tying me up and burning me to the bone! <br>

<br>

Why won't it rain? Please let it rain! <br>

<br>

Oh, God, <br>

Don't let me live and die alone<br>

<br>
