She's Your Lover Now (Take 16, Complete) - Bob Dylan
Written by:Bob Dylan
The pawnbroker roared
Also so so did the landlord
The scene was so crazy wasn't it
Both were so glad
To watch me destroy what I had
Pain sure brings out the best in people doesn't it
Why didn't you just leave me if you didn't want to stay
Why'd you have to treat me so bad
Did it have to be that way
Now you stand here expectin me to remember something you forgot to say
Yes and you I see you're still with her well
That's fine cause she's comin on so strange can't you tell
She's got her iron chain
Somebody had better explain
I'd do it but I I just can't remember how
You talk to her
Your lover now
I already assumed
That we're in the felony room
But I ain't a judge you don't have to be nice to me
But please tell that
To your friend in the cowboy hat
You know he keeps on saying everything twice to me
You know I was straight with you
You know I've never tried to change you in any way
You know if you didn't want to be with me
That you could didn't have to stay
Now you stand here sayin you forgive and forget honey what can I say
Yes you you just sit around and ask for ashtrays can't you reach
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
With her picture books of the pyramid
And her postcards of billy the kid
Well it's so nice
Why must everybody bow
You spline to her
You're her lover now
Oh everybody that cares
Is going up the castle stairs
But I'm not up in your castle honey
It's true I just can't recall
San francisco at all
I can't even remember el paso uh honey
You never had to be faithful
I never wanted you to grieve
Oh why was it so hard for you
If you didn't want to be with me just to leave
Now must you stand here while your finger's going up my sleeve
An you just what do you do anyway
Ain't there nothing you canre really say
She'll be standing on the bar soon
With a fish head and a harpoon
And a fake beard plastered on her brow
You'd better do something
She's your lover now
Oh why must I fall into this sadness
Do I look like charles atlas
Do you think I still got what you still got baby
My voice is really warm
It's just there it ain't got no form
But it's just like a dead man's last pistol shot baby
Ah your mouth used to be so naked
Your eyes used to be so blue
Your hurts used to be so nameless
And your tears used to be so few
Now your mouth cries wolf
Now your mouth cries mat get
Anymore like you
An't you there true nothing about you
I give me recall
I did saw you then warm time
An't you just that that all
But I always really being kiss
I'm not gone get in desert
I could make it
Anyhow
You do you for me
Your lover now
