Joe Firstman – Now You're Gorgeous, Now You're Gone lyrics

Lost your way and found another man's bed instead.
Yes you did.
And his shoulder was free,
But he can't sing as good as me.
And my mama still asks about you.
Instead all my speeches,
Sound better as lines.

It all went to hell when you got your pictures,
Because you finally believed me when I said that you were so pretty.
It all went to hell when you got your nerve,
Because you realized that I don't deserve you,
And that's for damn sure.
Instead my love letters read better as lines.

Now you're gorgeous,
Now you're gone.
Love you better since you're sleeping around.
Now you're gorgeous,
Now you're gone.
Now you're gorgeous,
And I'm drinking alone.

And I gladly would grieve you,
But I can't perceive you,
By and by I will.
And I gladly would save you
But I can't behave.
And I'm workin on it,
Oh I'm workin on it.
Instead all my love letters
Read better as lines.

Now you're gorgeous,
Now you're gone.
Love you better since you're sleeping around.
Now you're gorgeous,
Now you're gone.
Now you're gorgeous,
And I'm dancing alone, dancing alone.
Now you're gorgeous,
Now you're gone.
I love you better since you're sleeping around.
And now you're priceless,
And I am so very poor.
You were gorgeous and I'm drinkin alone.
