Bitter Tea

   
So, He drives a fancy new car.
And he snorts champagne up his nose.
So, He takes you out for caviar,
And Gucci makes all his clothes.

He might own his own record label,
And the underground thinks he's tops.
But, Honey, whatever is in fashion,
Can become as cold as it is hot.

Honey please come back,
Don't break my heart,
Honey please come back,
We'll try a new start,
I'm the one who loves you,
And you know my love is true.

  I know we've been having some tough times
And your Ma thinks He's the best.
But just because his genes are Irish
Don't mean he passes the love test.

I didn't leave our Venice love nest
Out of anger or jealousy,
Our love became a vortex of confusion,
Freedom destroyed our sensitivity.

Honey, I'm thinking it over.
I'm trying to understand.
Why you feel Jean-Luc Godard's
Panavision film, "Contempt,"
Mirrored my weak artist's stand.
Please come back,
I'll be your strong and loving man.

I know you met him while praying
Up at the Malibu monk's retreat.
That don't mean the guy is holy,
He just doesn't like to wash his feet.

I know he's been taking you places
Where you've always wanted to go,
But remember, when you tag along
You're never a part of the show.

Honey, Please come back,
You know my love is true.

We went down on each other
Before we knew each other's name.
Our rebellion was against convention
Our passion transcended pain.
Two hands reached and gently touched
Two souls in one wedding band,
Our feet walked on fields of yellow wildflowers,
How can you leave?
I don't understand.

So, he drives a fancy new car--
And snorts god-knows-what up his nose--

Please come back.
