A Gentleman Caller

Artists : Cursive : A Gentleman Caller

Yr gentleman caller,
well he’s been calling on another
he loves his forbidden fruit.
And as it dribbles down his chin he cries,
“baby I’ve been drinking with some friends now how about a little kiss”
bad boy! Rub his nose in it!
What a mess and he’s playing dumb
“doo do doo…”

(Enter second gentleman caller stage left, prowling towards a distressed damsel.)

“I’m not looking for a lover, all those lovers are liars…
I’d never lie to you..
you say you want to get even?
Yeah you want to get yr bad man good?
Well are you in the mood?"

(She nods.)

You bad girl!
Does it feel good being bad?
And getting worse?
“doo do doo…”
But in the morning on the sober dawn of Sunday
yr not sure what you have done
who told you love was fleeting?
Sometimes men can be so misleading
to take what they need from you.
Whatever you need to make you feel like you’ve been the one behind the wheel
the sunrise is just over that hill
the worst is over
whatever I said to make you think
that love’s the religion of the weak
this morning we love like weaklings
the worst is over.
The worst is over.
