I remember you

            
 well in the C

     
helsea Hotel,
             
You were talki

              
ng so brave an

     
d so sweet.
            
Giving me head

        
 on the unmade

 bed
           
While the limo

              
usines wait in

     
 the street
            
Those were the

             
 reasons and t


hat was New Yo

We were runnin

          
g for the mone

          
y and the fles

h
            
And that was c

              
alled love for

     
 the workers i

n song,
            
Probably still

              
 is for those 

        
of them left.

[Chorus]
            
And then you g

         
ot away, didn'

t you, baby?
              
You just turne

          
d your back on

     
 the crowd.
            
You got away, 

             
I never once h

eard you say,
            
"I need you, I

You told me ag

And clenching 

              
your fist for 

     
the ones like

Who are oppres

You fixed your

We are ugly bu

And then you g
