The Bogmen - Suddenly lyrics

rate me

"I know she's home", "Hello?"

"Ah yeah, hello, can I speak to Darlise, please?"

"She's not in right now"

"Yeah, but that woman's never in

I mean can you just tell her that Freddie called?", "Sure to"

"And one more thing, if she doesn't want to talk to me

Why doesn't she just tell me herself, I mean

Why's she got to get her roommate to do it?"

"I'm sorry, Freddie, this is Darlise

I didn't mean to leave you hanging on a string like I did"

"Yeah, well, I mean, if you're seeing another "

"No other man, Freddie"

"It's just that I've got my own home now

My own life, my own job, I'm a working woman"

"Yeah, just 'cause a man loses his job

Doesn't mean you got to go dumping him on his ass"

"I can't talk any longer, I gotta go"

"All right, baby, I guess I'll talk to you later then

Some point, have a nice life, do what you want, yeah"

Suddenly a woman leaves me

I've got no job, machine relieved me

Suddenly I've lost my piece of pie

I'm now in mourning and I wear all blue

That's the color you wear when the dead one's you

Suddenly I am living in a lie

My woman's off with some other guy

I can remember the first time I saw her

Hanging out in one of those singles bars

Women wear really fancy dress

She was drinking a really expensive mixed drink

And smoking one of those Marlboro 100's

With the big fancy plastic filters on the end

Made her look like she had class, least I thought so

But then suddenly, bitch left me

All of a sudden like something suddenly

Suddenly I'm on my own

I don't hear no rings on the telephone

And all the rings that I've given her

Have been returned

I cling to clothes she used to wear

Then I try them out and I style my hair

Suddenly I could never be as fine as she

I've got her eyes but I sure don't have her teeth

And I can remember when we would take walks

Around the public pool and the way she would look at me

And the way she would do this whistle and how I would feel

I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try and show you what it was like

Oh man

Suddenly I found myself drinking from the lowest shelf

When all of a sudden I just could not believe my eyes

There goes some guy walking down the street wearing my tie

Suddenly I'm not gonna let another man take my woman

Not even death can do us part because when I'm an angel

I'm gonna come down from Heaven

And I'm gonna buy her a brand new Cadillac

I'm gonna buy her a brand new Cadillac

Let me tell you why, let me tell everybody why

Because in the '50s it was pompadours

And in the '60s it was peace

In the '70s it was bell-bottoms, I don't know why but

In the '80s Ronald Reagan, BMWs, sushi

Back home I used that for fertilizer

But in the '90s, it's love, love is the new fad

I love you, good God almighty

Suddenly I have found myself alive
