Joan Armatrading - All The King's Gardens lyrics

rate me

You're a highfaluting man

Mixing with dinner party freaks

And you're dating only ladies known as the circle elite

You put me down as part exchange

And left me there with all my dreams

Waiting at the gates of all the king's gardens

You're too good to know

You've got a pretty face

Your manner's quite distinguished as a gentleman's ought to be

You hurt this girl you left behind

You put me down as part exchange

Opened my eyes to all the king's gardens

Feel the pressure rising

Getting higher and higher

Come on home baby, baby light my fire

I'll make you happy, make you laugh

Think about the future and not about the past

You're a highfaluting man

Mixing with dinner party freaks

And you're dating only ladies known as the circle elite

You put me down as part exchange

And left me there with all my dreams

Waiting at the gates of all the king's gardens

Well you tried to break me off

But I write it down as experience

Once bitten twice shy

But I'll make my comeback

You broke up, but I still will try

I'll keep on trying until I

Open the gates of all the king's gardens
