Guys And Dolls movie - Entr'acte; Take Back Your Mink lyrics

rate me

Song by Prince, Faith<br /><br>

He bought me the fur mink five winters ago <br>

And the gown the following fall <br>

Then the necklace, the bag, the gloves, and the hat, <br>

That was late '48 I recall <br>

Then last night in his apartment <br>

He tried to remove them all <br>

And I said as I ran down the hall. <br>

<br>

Take back your mink <br>

Take back your pearls <br>

What made you think <br>

That I was one of those girls? <br>

Take back the gown <br>

The gloves and the hat <br>

I may be down <br>

But I'm not flat as all that. <br>

<br>

I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged <br>

Was a token of your esteem <br>

But when I think of what you want in exchange <br>

It all seems a horrible dream <br>

Eek. <br>

<br>

So take back your mink. <br>

To from whence it came <br>

And tell them to alter and rise it <br>

For some other dame <br>

<br>

Take back your mink <br>

Take back your pearls <br>

What made you think <br>

That I was one of those girls? <br>

I'm screaming: <br>

Take back the gown <br>

The gloves and the hat <br>

I may be down <br>

But I'm not flat as all that. <br>

<br>

I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged <br>

Was a token of your esteem <br>

But when I think of what you want in exchange <br>

It all seems a horrible dream <br>

Eek! <br>

<br>

Take back your mink <br>

Those old worn out pelts <br>

And go shorten the sleaves <br>

For somebody else. <br>

<br>

(interlude) <br>

<br>

Well, wouldn't you?<br>

<br>
