Now You're Gorgeous, Now You're Gone Songtext
von Joe Firstman

Lost your way
Found another man′s bed instead
Yes you did
And his shoulder was free
But he can't sing as good as me
And my mama still asks about you

Instead all my speeches
Sound better as lines

It all went to hell when you got your pictures
Because you finally believed me
When I said that you were so pretty
It all went to hell when you got your nerve
Because you realized that I don′t deserve you
And that's for damn sure

Instead my love letters
Read better as lines


Now you're gorgeous
Now you′re gone
Love you better
Now that you′re sleeping around
Now you're gorgeous
Now you′re gone
Now you're gorgeous
And I′m drinking alone

I gladly would grieve you
But I can't perceive you
By and by I will
I gladly would save you
But I can′t behave
I'm working on it

Instead all my love letters
Read better as lines

Now you're gorgeous
Now you′re gone
Love you better
Since you′re sleeping around
Now you're gorgeous
Now you′re gone
Now you're gorgeous
And dancing alone


Now you′re gorgeous
Now you're gone
Love you better
Since you′re sleeping around
Now you're priceless
And I'm so very poor
You were gorgeous
And I′m drinking alone
