Shades

Well, i quit my high living just for you
Made you number one while i was number two
Set the weight of a hangman, to keep you satisfied
Times you dogged around on me and lied, lied, lied
What do you expect
Caviar and candlelight
What do you expect
Champagne every night
Well, you come home in the morning, quarter to two
Slide into the bedroom, want me to make love to you
I can take your jiving, can play it all cool
But i can't keep from knowing you think i'm a fool, fool, fool
What do you expect
Santa claus at christmas time
What do you expect
Bouquet of roses for your time
Yeah, now two days been gone since you been here
You've been hanging out, i don't know, i don't care
Change my way of living, gotta be stepping out that door
You won't find me here when you come back for more
What do you expect
Cadillac and a chauffeur too
What do you expect
Just another fool for you
Sometimes we do it and sometimes we don't
I can't wait no longer just to get to the point
What do you expect
Beating my head against the wall
What do you expect
You want to take it all

Yeah, you come home in the morning, your hair's all a mess
You've been out all night, you've got wrinkles in your dress
You give me the runaround
All day long you give me the runaround
When you say something here, you mean something there
You give me the runaround
Same thing yesterday, same thing the day before
Woman, it does get pretty doggone old
You give me the runaround
All day long you give me the runaround
You give me the runaround, woman, i'm getting tired of that
Hey, you told me last sunday you were gonna straighten it out
You know, woman, it's time
I started having my doubts
Such a runaround
You've been stepping on me, woman, running 'round like that

I knew a man, made a heavy move
He shot his wife, his best friend too
They put him away in a deep dark dungeon
Where the sun don't never shine
I knew a woman, had a jealous mind
She got a man, she caught him lying
They put her away in a deep dark dungeon
Where the sun don't never shine
A friend of mine, he got five years
For selling dope and bootleg beers
They put him away in a deep dark dungeon
Where the sun don't never shine
Oh, sleepy john had one vice
He liked to cheat at cards and dice
They put him away in a deep dark dungeon
Where the sun don't never shine

You don't love her like i love her
You don't treat her like i do
You don't tell her the things i tell her
I can't see her walking with you
Who you foolin', fooly-fooling
Who you foolin' with that jive
You don't take her like i take her
You don't care if she lives or dies
I don't mean to talk in trouble
I don't mean to bend your ear
You just leave her standing lonely
If you leave her, leave her here
Leave her here

Love has been gone, gone so long there's nothing new
I say our love has been gone, gone so long there's nothing new
How does it feel
Not too good
It ain't real but it's understood
That our love has been gone, gone so long there's nothing new
It ain't the same, it's just a game we play
Why do we keep on going through it every day
The good lord up above
Only he knows what happened to our sweet love
Love has been gone, gone so long there's nothing new
