Текст песни In The Lurch - Carmen McRae , Dave Brubeck

In the lurch, caught standing in the shadow of the church
Just like a lovebird pining on his perch
Where's my mate?
Must I always wait?
So now I'll just reverse that old cliche
This gal intends to make the piper pay
Then I'll be on my way
It's touche if he's gonna play

I think I've waited long enough for him to come
Some guy somewhere will want someone to love as I love him
Tired of sitting on a limb
Though I'm burned, I'll chalk it up to one more lesson learned
And wonder why my heart can't be returned
I might need it someday

I think I've waited long enough for him to come
Some guy somewhere will want someone to love as I love him
Tired of sitting on a limb
Though I'm burned, I'll chalk it up to one more lesson learned
And wonder why my heart can't be returned
I might need it someday

I might need it someday
I might need it someday
I might need it someday
