Can't Help You Now
So you're back in town with your ball and chainAnd your best laid plans—funny how they all went bust againI do declare it's a crying shameAnd everybody else is always to blameAll your old-time friends they've gone to groundThe theatre's closed—they've torn all the posters downOnce you had a face that could launch a thousand mastsBut what's a star without a cast?It's getting hard looking in your eyesEven your young child is getting wiseI can't help you now, darling, and that's the truthCan't help you now, darling, I'm all out of juiceI can't help you now, darling, that's for sureCan't help you now darling no moreI remember when I walked the streets all night longPounding a poem to my brain and in the morningI laid you down a songI gave you all the sweetest meat,I was happy just to lick the boneNow I don't even pick up the phonePardon me if I seem cruelBut how long can I be your fool?Letras de cancionesI can't help you now, darling, and that's no lieCan't help you now, darling, don't even ask whyI can't help you now, darling, got to close the doorI can't help you now darling no more From Letras Mania
