Amelita, come to see ya
|
And I finally now know the truth
|
Oh I found you, in your costume,
|
And the comb in your hair is the proof
|
Am I right, Amelita?
|
You just stand there with nothing to say
|
While they watch yo play the leader
|
So I’ve come here to take you away
|
|
Or they love you, and we lost you
|
When he promised to make you a star
|
Oh he fooled you, and it cost you
|
And the age on your face show the scars
|
Oh my good friend, I can see you
|
As a young girls with stars in her eyes
|
What a beauty, such a dancer,
|
Now you lay out your heart as a prize
|
Have you no pride?
|
You’ve got the rest of your life
|
|
I take your hand, let’s go tonight
|
Just leave it all, I promise you’ll
|
Be fine across the bridge, the lights of town
|
You smile, and never turn around
|
I remember you and Amelita
|
Have you no pride?
|
You’ve got the rest of your life
|
|
Where have you gone my friend
|
Then light in your eyes is gone, gone, gone
|
I take your hand, let’s go tonight
|
Just leave it all, I promise you’ll
|
Be fine across the bridge, the lights of town
|
You smile, and turn around and run
|
Amelita, have you no pride?
|
You’ve got the rest of your life
|
|
I take your hand, let’s go tonight
|
Just leave it all, I promise you’ll
|
Be fine across the bridge, the lights of town
|
You smile, and then you turn around and then run
|
Amelita, have you no ?ride?
|
You’ve got the rest of your life
|
Have you no pride?
|
Hey yeah
|
