Well, I met you on a Monday In a gin house 'round the block Your skin was dark as honey Like you'd been sunnin' 'round the clock You said that you were lonely And tired of all the lies That I looked like Rockefeller Especially 'round the eyes
CHORUS: So Long! So Long! Well, your candyman got salty You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well, I took you out to nightclubs And watched the fellas pounce I took you on vacations To spots I can't pronounce I bought you a big new Caddy To give our love a whirl But when I tried to kiss you, baby You said, "I'm not that kind of girl"
(CHORUS)
Everybody tried to tell me 'Bout the cash I'd spent & lost But I didn't get the message Till they turned my power off You took a mountain of my money Let me think I had a try But before I started nibblin' You found a bigger fish to fry
(CHORUS)
You can wait there every evening You can wait there by the phone You can wait for some poor sucker Who's afraid to be alone There will always be tomorrow They print money everyday But you'll never get me, baby I'm the one that got away
