[Intro]


[Verse]

I was Cleopatr

a, I was young

 and an actres

s
              
When you knelt

              
 by my mattres

              
s, and asked f

      
or my hand
          
But I was sad 

you asked it, 

as I laid in a

 black dress
              
With my father

              
 in a casket, 

         
I had no plans

[Break]


[Pre-chorus]
             
And I left the

              
 footprints, t

             
he mud stained

        
 on the carpet
              
And it hardene

              
d like my hear

              
t did when you

      
 left town
             
But I must adm

              
it it, that I 

             
would marry yo

             
u in an instan

t
              
Damn your wife

              
, I'd be your 

              
mistress just 

            
to have you ar

ound

[Chorus]
             
But I was late

            
 for this, lat

            
e for that, la

             
te for the lov

        
e of my life
             
And when I die

             
 alone, when I

            
 die alone, wh

             
en I die I'll 

     
be on time

[Break]


[Pre-chorus II]
             
While the chur

              
ch discouraged

             
, any lust tha

              
t burned withi

  
n me
              
Yes my flesh, 

              
it was my curr

              
ency, but I he

   
ld true
             
So I drive a t

             
axi, and the t

       
raffic distrac

ts me
             
From the stran

             
gers in my bac

              
kseat, they re

         
mind me of you

[Chorus]
             
But I was late

            
 for this, lat

And when I die

 die alone, wh

             
en I die I'll

[Bridge]
            
And the only g

             
ifts from my L

             
ord were a bir

        
th and a divor

ce
             
But I've read

[Pre-chorus II]
             
I was Cleopatr

             
a, I was talle

But that's all

              
 in the past n

              
ow, gone with 

    
the wind
             
Now a nurse in

             
 white shoes l

              
eads me back t

         
o my guestroom
             
It's a bed and

   
 a bathroom
              
And a place fo

[Chorus]
             
I won't be lat
