Florence Quits [In Concert, 2008] lyrics

[FREDDIE, spoken]

Five games to one. It's all over

(sung)

So you got what you want

What a nasty ambition

Set me up, pull me down

Then exploit my condition

I should have guessed, woman

That if pressed, woman

You're on nobody's side

But your own

And you're behaving

Like a mere woman

It's so clear, woman

It's your sex!

Once they start

Getting old

And getting worried

They let fly

Take it out

On the one who supports them--

That's you I'm talking about

[FLORENCE]

Who'd ever guess it?

Such a squalid little ending--

Watching you descending

Just as far as you can go

I'm learning

Things I didn't want to know

[FREDDIE & FLORENCE]

Who'd ever think it?

This would be the situation

[FREDDIE]

One more observation--

[FREDDIE & FLORENCE]

How'd we ever get this far

Before you showed me

What you really are?

[FLORENCE]

You'll be lost without me

To abuse like you're used to

[FREDDIE]

Go away! Just get out!

Be someone else's parasite!
