Chess London movie - Florence Quits lyrics

rate me

<br>

[THE AMERICAN]<br>

So you got what you want<br>

What a nasty ambition!<br>

Set me up, pull me down<br>

Then exploit my condition<br>

I should have guessed, woman<br>

That if pressed, woman<br>

You're on nobody's side but your own<br>

And you're behaving<br>

Like a mere woman<br>

It's so clear, woman --<br>

It's your sex!<br>

Once they start getting old and getting worried<br>

They let fly, take it out<br>

On the one who supports them --<br>

That's you I'm talking about<br>

<br>

[THE AMERICAN & FLORENCE]<br>

Who'd ever think it?<br>

Such a squalid little ending<br>

Watching you descending<br>

Just as far as you can go<br>

I'm learning things I didn't want to know<br>

Who'd ever guess it?<br>

This would be the situation --<br>

One more observation --<br>

How'd we ever get this far<br>

Before you showed me what you really are?<br>

<br>

[FLORENCE]<br>

You'll be lost without me<br>

To abuse like you're used to<br>

<br>

[THE AMERICAN]<br>

Go away! Just get out! Be someone else's parasite!<br>

<br>

I'm not the kind to be vindictive<br>

Holding some childish grudge<br>

How could I be? I'm in the spotlight<br>

Half of the world my judge<br>

<br>

All I demand is those I work for<br>

Those I give all my skills<br>

All my time and pain<br>

Those that I entertain<br>

Give me the same compassion in return<br>

But the fools never learn!<br>

<br>
