The Heel

The man who has me for his own is on the town and I'm alone
 In his new suit and his blue tie
 He slammed that door without goodbye
 Tonight my eyes are jealous green
 Tonight I'm feeling mighty mean
 He meets in secret rendezvous
 Some gal to tell his troubles to
 That dirty low down heel
 He'll promise her most anything a sable coat a diamond ring
 And she'll find out when it's too late and all she'll get will be the gate
 But while the dawn's a distant thing in his embrace her heart will sing
 Her dizzy head will spin with lies
 And all too soon a woman cries
 That dirty low down heel
 The neon lights that flash below ignite my room with devil glow
 And in the gloom I hear a laugh that's coming from his photograph
 I ring my hands and walk the floor and swear to even up the score
 For where a kitten cries tonight a panther waits to claw and bite
 That dirty low down 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
 There'll be no sleep for me tonight the sheep I count are never white
 They all turn out to be jet black and whose the leader of the pack
 The heel
 At dawn I know he'll stagger in demanding coffee black as sin and
 As I pour it from the tin ill slip a little powder in
 He'll ring his hands 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
 But as the pot begins to perk I know my plan will never work and as he starts to drink it up
 I'll take his hand and break the cup
 It's only jealousy I know that's brought my thinking down so low
 Why must I just sit here and grieve
 Why don't I just pack up and leave
 That dirty low down heel
 But now hes really on the stairs I try to act like I don't care
 For in my hearts arithmetic I find it takes two heels to click
 We're in our world of love and hate where it will end is up to fate
 And I'll let him have his little fling and be the chewing gum that clings
 To that dirty low down heel
 That low down lovable heel
