You've seen my loveYou've seen my childYou've seen my fifty dollar make believeYou've seen my carYou've seen my placeYou can see that I've been truly blessedWell, you've seen me tameAnd you've seen me wildAnd you've seen me hereAs I wait for trialAnd you've seen my carAnd you've seen my placeAnd you've seen the face for whomI sing the blues tonightOne day they'll comfort you now babyThere ain't an awful lot that you can do now darlingThe next day they'll come for me and you babyI told you so. I told you soStill the ring will shine through the dead of nightI said I rub my eyes 'cause I can't sleep tonightAnd the cold outside is going to warm my veinAnd the way I feel I can't take more painSongtexteWell, you've seen my loveAnd you've seen my childAnd you've seen my hundred dollar make believeAnd you've seen my carAnd you've seen my placeYou've seen the face for whom I made my blue disgraceThey said the rubies shoneFrom her bleeding noseI said the crowd was cold and couldn't care much moreHow can a love so bad turn to so much gainAnd I won't feel free until I taste morphineThere will be a way I'll signThere will be a way I'll crawlAcross Bluebeard's fire 'cause I can't take much more babyAnd the cold outside should be my best friendMakes me think of you and say let's make pretendYou know the ring will shine through the dead of nightWe all want true love and not deceit and liesAnd they can call my name over hill and valeThey can take me down and stick me in the jail babyBut still the ring will whirl through the pouring rainAnd they can't kill love with a cold bladeAnd the way to go is the way I runAnd it's two feet first I hear the starting gunYou want to call my name in the black nightBut it won't be long before we fuss and fightAnd I've been there once and I've been there twiceAnd I ain't been no place three times in my sweet short life Aus Songtexte Mania
