[00:00.000] 作曲 : Burt Bacharach
[00:08.268] He's given me things you never would have
[00:13.580] And if you did you'd want them back
[00:17.320] Forgiven me things I didn't know that
[00:22.686] I had done, but just faded to black
[00:26.694]
[00:26.931] He's given me time and consolation
[00:30.960] Some verses to read and lines to say
[00:35.446] I will stay here for a while now
[00:40.534] He call me "child" now
[00:44.627] But it works that way
[00:47.140]
[00:49.100] He's given me things you couldn't guess at
[00:53.717] I don't mean jewels although they were fine
[00:58.250] A way to depart, one way to enter
[01:02.484] A right to dismiss upon a whim
[01:07.181] When I close the door and you're supposing
[01:11.536] I kick up my heels and then I scream
[01:18.348] "Why was I chosen?" You'll never know
[01:24.910] What I give to him
[01:28.583]
[01:29.394] He's given me things you never thought of
[01:34.873] Because they were not yours to give
[01:38.214] So take this pill and tranquilize
[01:42.866] And roll your eyes at the husbands
[01:48.131] Not the customer's wives
[01:51.440]
[01:52.696] He's forgiven me trials and tears and tantrums
[01:57.692] And even all my false alarms
[02:01.704] You sat there amused while I was crying
[02:06.224] And just seemed to sigh but that's money can buy
[02:10.873] And now I know why I come back to him
[02:15.431] And now I know why you'll never do
[02:20.106] Who are you?
[02:21.867] Out there with one penny
[02:25.023] You are so many
[02:28.878] And we are so few
[02:31.346]
[02:33.186] So cover the canvas if you're leaving
[02:37.670] There's a bowl in the hallways to wash your hands
[02:42.203] If the waters runs black please leave some silver
[02:46.883] Then step past the glass and never come back
[02:51.160] I'm living up here and you can see me
[02:56.102] Yes, you can look but you can't touch
[03:00.158] 'Cause you don't belong, the air is thin here
[03:05.113] You may asphyxiate my dear
[03:09.354] For didn't you tell me "You should hold me"
[03:13.455] "Oh please, you must hold me, as if I were hung"
[03:20.569] To think you were exciting when love was frightening
[03:27.240] But I was so young
[03:29.998]
[03:31.750] He's given me things you never dreamed of
[03:36.910] Where hopes are dashed and trash is praised
[03:41.258] He has an awful lot of money
[03:45.727] The past can be bought and then erased
