Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by tim rice<br>Available on the album jump up<br><br>Your accountant called this morning<br>There was springtime in his heart<br>He couldn't wait to tell me<br>How he'd pulled our lives apart<br>And the letter from your lawyer<br>Lies unopened on the tray<br>I may get around to reading it later today<br><br>Walking round the lonely rooms<br>I see everything the same<br>But suddenly it matters<br>What was purchased in my name<br>Whether this or that was paid for<br>Belongs to me or you<br>Can the seven years together be divided by two<br><br>It says something for the legal boys<br>But nothing much for us<br>That all we had together<br>Is so quickly ended thus<br>The legal boys have won again<br>And you and I have lost<br>They can't tell us how it happened<br>But they'll let us know the cost<br>Oh they'll let us know the cost, oh yeah<br><br>There's a lot I'd like to tell you<br>But I can't get past your guards<br>I do not speak their language<br>And they hold all the cards<br>I would rather call you darling<br>Than defendant in the case<br>But lovers left here long ago<br>And clients took their place
