On your somewhat faded picture
I saw us as a couple
Your hand in mine,
darling.
Beyond your social butterfly attitudes
and your old-fashioned manners
who knows, darling,
whom you love?
...
Darling,
in your American city
darling
You put me in quarantine
Darling
And when you carry me along
I'm no longer the same
darling
You did everything to please me
You're raising the stakes
Tell me darling
where it all leads us.
Why so many acts
and why do you play the mermaid?
You know, darling,
you don't have to do that.
...
Darling,
in your American city
darling
You put me in quarantine
Darling
And when you carry me along
I'm not the same
darling
I thought I knew all about
love and its tired tricks
and I thought I was so self-assured.
But these eyes you cast
on me like obscene gestures...
Can't you see, darling,
you're embarrassing me?
On your somewhat faded picture
I saw us as a couple
Your hand in mine,
darling.
Beyond your social butterfly attitudes
and your old-fashioned manners
who knows, darling,
whom you love?
Who knows, darling,
whether you love me?
Who knows, darling,
whom you love?
