The Heel - Remastered 2001

The one who has me for his own
 Is on the town and I'm alone
 In his blue suit and his new tie
 He slams the door without goodbye
 Tonight my eyes are jealous green
 Tonight I'm melancholy mean
 He meets in secret rendezvous
 Some dame to tell his troubles to
 The heel
 He'll promise her most anything
 A sable coat, a diamond ring
 She'll find him out when its too late
 And all she'll get will be the date
 But while the dawn's a distant thing
 In his embrace her heart will sing
 A dizzy head will spin with lies
 And all too soon a woman cries
 The heel
 The neon lights that flash below
 Ignite my room with double glow
 And in the gloom I hear a laugh
 Its coming from his photograph
 I wring my hands and mop the floor
 And swear to even up the score
 But where a kitten cried tonight
 A panther waits to claw and bite
 The heel
 I dare not play my radio
 One more complaint and out I go
 I'm sick of playing solitaire
 The ace of spades is everywhere
 They'll be no sleep for me tonight
 The sheep I count are never white
 They all turn out to be jet black
 And who's the leader of the pack
 The heel
 At dawn I know he'll stagger in
 Demanding coffee black as sin
 And as I take it from the tin
 I'll slip a little powder in
 He'll look at me and start to cry
 And cross his heart and hope to die
 And mumble I know how you feel
 But I've been on a business deal
 The heel
 Then as the pot begins to perc
 I know my plan will never work
 But, when he starts to drink it up
 I grab his hand and break the cup
 Its only jealousy I know
 That brought my thinking down so low
 Why must I wait for him and grieve
 Why don't I just pack up and leave
 The heel
 But now he's reeling on the stair
 I'll try to act like I don't care
 For in my heart's arithmetic
 I find it takes two heels to click
 We're in a web of love and hate
 Where it will end is up to fate
 I'll let him have his little flings
 I'll be the chewing gum that clings
 To the heel
