The Heel - Eartha Kitt[00:00:00]

Written by：Léo Ferré/Willard Robison[00:00:00]

The one who has me for his own[00:00:10]

Is on the town and I'm alone[00:00:12]

In his blue suit and his new tie[00:00:13]

He slams the door without goodbye[00:00:15]

Tonight my eyes are jealous green[00:00:20]

Tonight I'm melancholy mean[00:00:21]

He meets in secret rendezvous[00:00:23]

Some dame to tell his troubles to[00:00:25]

The heel[00:00:28]

He'll promise her most anything[00:00:31]

A sable coat a diamond ring[00:00:33]

She'll find him out when its too late[00:00:34]

And all she'll get will be the date[00:00:36]

But while the dawn's a distant thing[00:00:41]

In his embrace her heart will sing[00:00:43]

A dizzy head will spin with lies[00:00:45]

And all too soon a woman cries[00:00:46]

The heel[00:00:49]

The neon lights that flash below[00:00:53]

Ignite my room with double glow[00:00:54]

And in the gloom I hear a laugh[00:00:56]

It's coming from his photograph[00:00:58]

I wring my hands and mop the floor[00:01:03]

And swear to even up the score[00:01:04]

But where a kitten cried tonight[00:01:06]

A panther waits to claw and bite[00:01:08]

The heel[00:01:10]

I dare not play my radio[00:01:14]

One more complaint and out I go[00:01:16]

I'm sick of playing solitaire[00:01:17]

The ace of spades is everywhere[00:01:19]

They'll be no sleep for me tonight[00:01:24]

The sheep I count are never white[00:01:26]

They all turn out to be jet black[00:01:27]

And who's the leader of the pack[00:01:29]

The heel[00:01:32]

At dawn I know he'll stagger in[00:01:35]

Demanding coffee black as sin[00:01:37]

And as I take it from the tin[00:01:39]

I'll slip a little powder in[00:01:40]

He'll look at me and start to cry[00:01:45]

And cross his heart and hope to die[00:01:47]

And mumble I know how you feel[00:01:49]

But I've been on a business deal[00:01:50]

The heel[00:01:53]

Then as the pot begins to perc[00:01:57]

I know my plan will never work[00:01:58]

When he starts to drink it up[00:02:00]

I grab his hand and break the cup[00:02:02]

It's only jealousy I know[00:02:07]

That brought my thinking down so low[00:02:08]

Why must I wait for him and grieve[00:02:10]

Why don't I just pack up and leave[00:02:12]

The heel[00:02:15]

But now he's reeling on the stair[00:02:19]

I'll try to act like I don't care[00:02:20]

For in my heart's arithmetic[00:02:22]

I find it takes two heels to click[00:02:23]

We're in a web of love and hate[00:02:28]

Where it will end is up to fate[00:02:30]

I'll let him have his little flings[00:02:32]

I'll be the chewing gum that clings[00:02:33]

To the heel[00:02:36]
