Letra de ' The Heel ' de Eartha Kitt

The one who has me for his own
Is on the town and I'm alone
In his blue suit and his new tie
He slammed the door without goodbye

Tonight my eyes are jealous green
Tonight I'm melancholy mean
He meets, in secret rendezvous
Some dame to tell his troubles to
The heel

He'll promise her most anything
A sable coat, a diamond ring
She'll find him out when it's too late
And all she gets will be a date

But while the dawn's a distant thing
In his embrace her heart will sing
Her dizzy head will spin with lies
And all too soon a woman cries
The heel!

The neon lights that flash below
Ignite my room with double glow
And in the room I hear a laugh
It's coming from his photograph

I ring my hands and walk the floor
And swear to even up the score
For where a kitten cried tonight
A panther waits to claw and bite
The heel

I dare not play my radio
One more complaint and out I go
I'm sick of playing solitaire
The ace of spades is everywhere

There'll be no sleep for me tonight
The sheep I count are never white
They all turn out to be jet black
And who's the leader of the pack?
The heel

At dawn I know he'll stagger in
Demanding coffee black as sin
And as I take it from the tin
I slip a little powder in

He'll look at me and start to cry
And cross his heart and hope to die
And mumble: I know how you feel
But I've been on a business deal!
The heel

Then as the pot begins to perk
I know my plan will never work
But when he starts to drink it up
I'll grab his hand and break the cup

It's only jealousy, I know
That brought my thinking down so low
Why must I wait for him and grieve?
Why don't I just pack up and leave
The heel?

But no he's really on the stair
I'll try to act like I don't care
For in my heart's arithmetic
I find it takes two heels to click

We're in a web of love and hate
Where it will end is up to fate
I'll let him have his little fling
I'll be the chewing gum that clings
To the heel
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
