"The way I see it," he said, "You just can't win it" |
|
Everybody's in it for their own gain |
|
You can't please them all |
|
There's always someone calling you down |
|
Calling you down, calling you down |
|
But I do my best |
|
And I do good business, I do it well |
|
There's a lot of people asking for my time |
|
Trying to get ahead |
|
They're trying to be a good friend of mine |
|
I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers |
|
Lately, I wonder what I do it for |
|
If l had my way |
|
I'd walk through those doors |
|
And wander down the Champs-Elysees |
|
Going cafe to cabaret |
|
Thinking how I'll feel when I find |
|
That very good friend of mine |
|
I was a free man in Paris |
|
(I felt unfettered and alive) |
|
Nobody was calling me up for favors |
|
(And no one's future to decide) |
|
You know I'd go back there tomorrow |
|
(But for the work I've taken on) |
|
Stoking the star maker machinery |
|
(Behind the popular song) |
