got on the phone and called the girls, said Meet me down at Curly Pearls, for a Ney, Nah Neh Nah In my high-heeled shoes and fancy fads I ran down the stairs hailed me a cab, going Ney, Nah Neh Nah Ney, Nah Neh Nah Ney, Nah Neh Nah Nah Neh Nah
When I pushed the door, I saw Eleanor And Mary-Lou swinging on the floor, going Ney, Nah Neh Nah Sue came in, in a silk sarong She walzed across as they played that song, going Ney, Nah Neh Nah Ney, Nah Neh Nah Ney, Nah Neh Nah Nah Neh Nah
Annie was a little late She had to get out of a date with a Ney, Nah Neh Nah Carole fixed another drink As the piano man began to sing that song Ney, Nah Neh Nah Ney, Nah Neh Nah Ney, Nah Neh Nah Nah Neh Nah
It was already half past three But the night was young and so were we, dancing Ney, Nah Neh Nah Oh Lord, did we have a ball Still singing, walking down that hall, that Ney, Nah Neh Nah Ney, Nah Neh Nah Ney, Nah Neh Nah Nah Neh Nah
You've seen him on the street today Heading for some sleaze cafe He wasn't alone He wasn't alone Some beauty hung onto his arm I shouldn't need to be alarmed He's done it before He's done it before Where and how? I don't want to know
You think she's one of his old flames Some firey-looking kind of dame You found her dull but just the same She stole the show I don't want to know
You've seen him on the downtown side Drinking hard and acting wild He was not alone Not on his own You say he looked a sorry sight You know he's had another fight He's done it before Yes, he's done it before Where and how? I don't want to know
A smile breaks on your poker face Tells me you're gonna throw the Ace of Spades Drop it, and watch me fall on evil days And let me go I don't want to know
Why don't I try to understand He's just as weak as any other man He'll come back to me in the end Isn't that so? I don't want to know
He said baby, what's your name Are you new in this town? Since you walked in things don't look the same How about sticking around? The place was dark and the band played loud His voice sounded kind of dry He said: who's that guy with the funny smile? She said: He's just a friend of mine x3 They talked a little, drank a lot As the evening went by The place got crowded and the air too hot He said: who's that guy following us about? She said: He's just a friend of mine x3 He was nice and gentle, still rough enough To keep her satisfied She said: hold it baby, it gets too much I feel like I'm gonna die He took her home in the early mornin' She said: please do come inside He said: who's that guy in the dressing gown? She said: He's just a friend of mine x3 He said who's that guy in the dressing gown She said baby don't you mind He's just a friend, just a friend, He's just a friend of mine
Darling now I'm gonna leave you One more time I shall deceive you The moon is round And the wolves are howling On hunting ground My pack is waiting We will never know why We were chosen by fate To perform all the rites That turned love into hate I'll see you grin when I pass you by I'll hear you curse my name I won't lower my eyes I won't cover my face
You can call me a liar Try to put me to shame No, I have no desire To live my life in the shade You strut like a lion But you're a bird in a cage You set the rivers on fire But you got burned by the flames Forever now I'm gonna lose you These arms of mine Could never soothe you
