Othello

How can you say that you love me,
When you never look me in the face?
How can you say that you need me,
When you´ve been messing around?
All over the place.
I went downtown yesterday,
And was walking in the marketplace
All the women they laughed at me,
They whispered that I was a disgrace.

You´ve been out all night drinking again,
You never even bother to call.
Been crossing blades with God knows who,
You´re headed for your rise and fall.
Sooner or later I´ll wake up,
And rub the sleep out of my eyes.
Later that day when you wake up,
You´ll be in for a big surprise.

You talk about yourself all night,
When really you are such a bore.
You gave me flowers to my face,
Behind my back you call me a whore.
I´ve had enough of you God knows what,
I think it´s time for you to leave.
I´ve forgiven you too many times before,
This time you get no reprive.

The bed´s too big without you,
But I suppose it´ll have to do.
Better to lay in an empty bed,
Than to spend another night beside you.
People talking all over town,
About the way you´ve been putting me down.
People talking all over town,
They don´t wanna see you around.
