"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 'em all |
|
There's always somebody calling you down |
|
I do my best and I do good business |
|
There's a lot of people asking for my time, they're trying to get ahead |
|
They're trying to be a good friend of mine |
|
I was a free man in Paris I felt unfettered and alive |
|
There was nobody 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 |
|
I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers |
|
Lately I wonder what I do it for |
|
If l had my way, I'd just walk out 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, 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 |
