Various - Florence Quits lyrics

rate me

Benny Andersson, Tim Rice, and Bjorn Ulvaeus

THE AMERICAN:

So you got what you want

What a nasty ambition!

Set me up, pull me down

Then exploit my condition

I should have guessed, woman

That if pressed, woman

You're on nobody's side but your own

And you're behaving

Like a mere woman

It's so clear, woman --

It's your sex!

Once they start getting old and getting worried

They let fly, take it out

On the one who supports them --

That's you I'm talking about

THE AMERICAN & FLORENCE:

Who'd ever think it?

Such a squalid little ending

Watching you descending

Just as far as you can go

I'm learning things I didn't want to know

Who'd ever guess it?

This would be the situation --

One more observation --

How'd we ever get this far

Before you showed me what you really are?

FLORENCE:

You'll be lost without me

To abuse like you're used to

THE AMERICAN:

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

I'm not the kind to be vindictive

Holding some childish grudge

How could I be? I'm in the spotlight

Half of the world my judge

All I demand is those I work for

Those I give all my skills

All my time and pain

Those that I entertain

Give me the same compassion in return

But the fools never learn!
