Sherry Hursey - I Feel Him Slipping Away lyrics

[WIFE] We've been married for ten years Eight were fine; and six were not It seemed longer than ten years What I recall is better forgot The first two were the best years: When the kid was born When the word seemed okay But I I felt him slipping away I felt him die in my arms His charms Were not for me How could I ever compete? The cause of all his lust- She must Be sweet... ...And maybe too old She might have a limp Or she might have Acne, or polio, or something If the lady's just an a**- Say she dotes on cops and g-men- Let's suppose she's lower cla**- How'd he choose her over me then? (spoken) He used to love me He used to love me He used to love me [GOLDBERG, spoken] Ah, don't be pathetic [SWEETHEART, spoken] She's so pathetic [WIFE] Is it hard to deceive me? No, just bring a note from home He could just as well leave me; When he's with us He's somewhere alone [GOLDBERG and SWEETHEART] You'll be fine... [WIFE] I'll be fine if he leaves me But, I'm sure he won't Trouble is we don't say But I... [LADIES] I felt him slipping away I felt him die in my arms His charms Were not for me No. No. No. No. No How Could I ever compete? The cause of all his lust? She must Be sweet [WIFE] The b**h might be dumb She might think he's Kris Kringle And honest And single [SWEETHEART and GOLDBERG] He will not admit the truth [WIFE] He thinks I might like surprise [SWEETHEART and GOLDBERG] Why are men so damn uncouth? [WIFE] Oh... [ALL] All they every tell are lies! [WIFE] I feel him slipping away I feel him dead in my arms His charms Are not for me How Can I ever compete? The cause of all his lust She must Be sweet... (spoken) Liar!!!
