Landlady Song Songtext

von Antje Duvekot

Oh you're breaking my spirit and you're hurting my ears
Little darling, when I hold you close
You have laid in my bed since the day we were wed
But when you're sleeping I like you the most

Cause your voice is a needle on a record that's broke
The only one, babe, that you ever play
And these days it skips more, and it was not that good before
Oh, lord, help me love you, babe
Oh, lord, help me love you, babe

Well, long ago, I was foolish, long ago, I was young
You were a waitress on Route 13
I was hungry for eggs, back then you had nice legs
And the rest is just history

Now your voice is a needle on a record that's broke
The only one, babe, that you ever play
And these days it skips more, and it was not good before
Oh, lord, help me love you, babe
Oh, lord, help me love you, babe

Through thick and thin, that's the way that we swore
But you ain't been thin since the children were born
Oh, lord, how I try, yeah, you know that I do
But it ain't easy loving you

Cause your voice is a needle on a record that's broke
The only one, babe, that you ever play
And these days it skips more, and it was not good before
Oh, lord, help me love you, babe
Oh, lord, help me love you, babe
Oh, lord, help me love you, babe
