Suddenly
spoken: [F] I know she's home [R] Hello [F] Hello, may I speak to Darlise please? [R] She's not in right now [F] Yeah, but that woman's never in, I mean can you just tell her Freddie called [R] Sure to [F] Uh, uh, and one more thing. If she doesn't want to talk to me why doesn't she just tell me herself. Why's she got to get her roommate to do it? [D,R] I'm sorry Freddie, this is Darlise. I didn't mean to leave you hangin' on a string like I did. [F] If you're seeing another man- [D] There's 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! [F] Yeah, just cause a man loses his job doesn't mean you got to go dumping him on his ass! [D] I can't talk any longer, I've got to go [F] All right baby, I guess I'll talk to you later - at some point - have a nice life - do what you want-- [click] Suddenly a woman leaves me I've got no job a 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 She was hanging out in one of those singles bars SongtexteWearing a really fancy dress She was drinking a really expensive mixed drink Smoking one of those Marlboro 100's with the big fancy plastic filters on the end Made her look like she had class At least I thought so But then suddenly the 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 on 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 I can remember when we would take walks around the public pool And she way she would look at me And the way she would do this whistle and how I would feel I'm gonna try and show you what it was like Suddenly I found myself drinking from the lowest shelf And all of a sudden I just could not believe my eyes There goes some guy walkin' 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 50's, it was pompadours And in the 60's, it was peace And in the 70's, it was bell bottoms I don't know why And in the 80's Ronald Reagan - BMW's - sushi back home we used that for fertilizer But in the 90's LOVE - love is the new fad I love you God almighty I love you Ya da da da da da da...
