Elaine Paige - Florence Quits lyrics

[THE AMERICAN] 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 s**! 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/THE AMERICAN] Who'd ever think 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 Who'd ever guess it? This would be the situation One more observation 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 [THE AMERICAN] Go away! Just get out! Be someone else's parasite! I'm not the kind to be vindictive Holding some childish grudge How could I be? I'm in the spotlight Half of the world my judge All I demand is those I work for Those I give all my sk**s All my time and pain Those that I entertain Give me the same compa**ion in return But the fools never learn!
