Save Some (For Me)

Save some.
Save some.
Just save some,
Won't you save some for me;
Please save some,
Won't you save some for me.

I felt so crazy when I read your little letter,
Saying you were never coming home.
Every day I wake up, now I feel a little better,
'Cause the way I live I'll never be alone.

Save some;
Try to save some for me.
Won't you save some,
Please save some for me.

I talk with friends about us, and the way you feel about me.
I feel your teeth with every second word.
I felt you like Ophelia in a repertory failure,
Demented in a theatre absurd.

Woman I save some;
You didn't get it all, 'cause I
Save some for me
Yes, I save some;
Tell you, I save some for me.

{piano solo}

Should you depart me when you read your silly papers;
Just pretend you never knew my name.
Should I ever feed you when you
Talk to your, talk to your, talk to your neighbours;
Tell them that I never played the game.

'Cause I save some;
You didn't get it all,
'Cause I save some for me.
Oh yes, I save some,
(I cheated on the side)
Yes I save some for me.

Yes I save some,
You didn't get it all, didn't get it all,
'Cause I save some for me.
Yes I save some,
Oh darling, save some for me.

Just a little bit, just a little bit for me;
Just a little bit, save some.
Won't you save some;
Won't you save some for me.
