Ive had my fill of ugly words
Ive had my fill of lies
When the only truth or beauty now
Is deep within your thighs
The roses are in bloom my dear
I havent any fear
That youll love me
Like you did last year

Look at me
Do you see
A man against the world
But dont look at me
And see an unhappy man
With some powder and some paint
And the patience of a saint
Im still here

My lifes not over yet
Im not up there on the shelf
Ive found someone to love
Apart from just myself

Ive had my fill of bitterness
Ive had my fill of dirt
Ive had enough of emptiness
Ive had enough of hurt
I think well get the last laugh
If we dont break down and cry

And find the jokes
On you and i
Look at us
Do you see us in a burlesque show
Look at us are we in vaudeville
Weve tasted every thrill
Every powder every pill
And were still here

Ive had enough of broken cups
Ive had enough of scenes
Of other peoples laughter
When we go through our routines
The lilies arent in season
So Ive no reason to fear
That youll love me like you
Did last year
That youll love me like you
Did last year
That youll love me like you
Did last year
