Love Me Tenderly

I might lost my leg in the war But war, it was love My girl's a real shark I'm not gonna try to debate it Not everybody's perfect My baby told me, "Darling If you can't get a pardon, better get a parole" I told her I'd be out by morning When the sun is down and with the money rolled Ooh-wee, that gal's the gal for me She loves me tenderly I walked with my brand new slacks And my hair slick back down to Donny's pier Donny wants me to buy him a bottle But I blew my wallet on a chandelier All for my loving gal Leonor Who loves the elderly A bottle of Scotch, a dime-sack and a diamond watch Wouldn't you like that? A bottle of gin, a typewriter and a violin Wouldn't you like that? Whoa! James Felice on the piano Real talent, alright Jimmy that's enough let's wrap it up Ooh-wee, that gal's the gal for me She loves me tenderly I left my blue-eyed lady And went with Tony Mercedes to the gambling room I lost my diamond watch But in the parking lot I took back again Oh, man, you got to understand She loves me tenderly A bottle of Scotch, a dime-sack and a diamond watch Wouldn't you like that? A bottle of gin, a typewriter and a violin Wouldn't you like that? A sunny day, a shotgun and a Chevrolet Wouldn't you like that? A painted scene, our voices on the city green Wouldn't you like that? A microwave, a pillbox and a jack of spades Wouldn't you like that?
