Shel Silverstein - Pathetic Way Of Getting Over MeShel Silverstein - Pathetic Way Of Getting Over Me
Work rating: Low


Oh if you read in the papers that she`s been seen A gettin` in an out of some millionare`s long custom made limousine She may fool you with her smile but I can see That`s just her poor hopeless heartless helpless pathetic way of gettin` over me So you were down at Joe`s on the night she broke her zipper And some wane brain drunk champagne out of her slipper And she danced on the piano and she screamed hurray I`m free That`s just her poor hopeless heartless helpless pathetic way of gettin` over me Oh she`ll do anything she can just to make me jealous Of course forgettin` me is gonna take her lots of years So I call her now and then just out of pitty when she laughs at me That`s just her way of bravely holding back her tears What`s that you say she got married oh the poor little fool To some handsome movie star with the mansion and a swimming pool And she`s looking good and she`s got a kid or two or three That`s just her poor hopeless heartless helpless pathetic way of gettin` over me (Pathetic way of tryin` to get over me but she ain`t never gonna make it honey I mean those guys those guys you see her with now They`re they`re the relatives maybe business assiciates I mean I know this woman and she`s sittin` home bitin` her fingernails Let me tell you she`s just readin` magazines She she may look like she`s enjouin` herself That`s the way she looks when she`s really gettin` bad I know this woman)
