Damn! Damn! Damn! [00:26.44]I've grown accustomed to her face. [00:30.99] [00:32.39]She almost makes the day begin. [00:35.50]I've grown accustomed to the tune that [00:37.75]She whistles night and noon. [00:39.06]Her smiles, her frowns, [00:40.63]Her ups, her downs [00:42.93]Are second nature to me now; [00:46.11]Like breathing out and breathing in. [00:49.44]I was serenely independent and content before we met; [00:53.38]Surely I could always be that way again- [00:59.00]And yet [01:00.12]I've grown accustomed to her look; [01:03.11]Accustomed to her voice; [01:05.24]Accustomed to her face. [01:11.14][Spoken] [01:24.24]"Marry Freddy." What an infantile idea. What a heartless, [01:27.87]Wicked, brainless thing to do. But she'll regret, she'll [01:32.54]Regret it. It's doomed before they even take the vow! [01:38.72][Sung] [01:39.11]I can see her now, Mrs. Freddy Eynsford-Hill [01:41.30]In a wretched little flat above a store. [01:45.61]I can see her now, not a penny in the till, [01:48.55]And a bill collector beating at the door. [01:51.73]She'll try to teach the things I taught her, [01:54.54]And end up selling flowers instead. [01:57.48]Begging for her bread and water, [02:00.16]While her husband has his breakfast in bed. [02:03.84] [02:06.47]In a year, or so, when she's prematurely grey, [02:11.03]And the blossom in her cheek has turned to chalk. [02:14.71]She'll come home, and lo, he'll have upped and run away [02:17.95]With a social-climbing heiress from New York. [02:21.14]Poor Eliza. How simply frightful! [02:23.20]How humiliating! How delightful! [02:25.82] [02:30.89]How poignant it'll be on that inevitable night [02:33.02]When she hammers on my door in tears and rags. [02:37.34]Miserable and lonely, repentant and contrite. [02:41.17]Will I take her in or hurl her to the walls? [02:44.05]Give her kindness or the treatment she deserves? [02:47.10]Will I take her back or throw the baggage out? [02:53.41]But I'm a most forgiving man; [02:56.09]The sort who never could, ever would, [02:59.17]Take a position and budge.never staunchly [03:01.97] [03:05.80]A most forgiving man. [03:10.88]But, I shall never take her back, [03:13.99]If she were even crawling on her knees. [03:16.86]Let her promise to atone; [03:18.30]Let her shiver, let her moan; [03:19.55]I'll slam the door and let the hell-cat freeze! [03:23.86][Spoken] [03:26.62]Freddy"-h "Marry a! [03:28.36] [03:30.35][Sung] [03:43.04]But I'm so used to hear her say [03:46.04]"Good morning" ev'ry day. [03:48.60]Her joys, her woes, [03:50.72]Her highs, her lows, [03:54.28]Are second nature to me now; [03:58.03]Like breathing out and breathing in. [03:59.77] [04:02.14]I'm very grateful she's a woman [04:04.28]And so easy to forget; [04:05.28] [04:06.71]Rather like a habit [04:08.47]One can always break- [04:14.03]And yet, [04:15.03]I've grown accustomed to the trace [04:19.46]Of something in the air; [04:22.05]Accustomed to her face~~~~~~~~~~~
