Tall In The Saddle - Joan Armatrading

Say what you will

You can’t take the stars at night

Take your love

But that doesn’t stop my life

You’ve been fooling around

I looked to you for love

Thought you walked on holy ground

But oh, you’re mean

I thought that here

Was a guy, brave and strong

A brother to his brothers

Brave ans strong

Was preaching what to practice

But that don’t mean a thing

You’re mean

Tall in the saddle

One of these days you’re gonna have to dismount

You don’t leave me downhearted

But I’m sorry that you had to go

'Cos we had fun, fun, fun, fun

Fun, fun, fun

We had fun while it lasted

We had fun while it lasted

You were God’s gift to girls

You persuaded

Then you beat up on their hearts

You made it, you made it

You made it, you made it

Oh you’re just mean

Tall in the saddle

One of these days you’re gonna have to dismount

You don’t leave me downhearted

But I’m sorry that you had to go

'Cos we had fun, fun, fun, fun

Fun, fun, fun

We had fun while it lasted

We had fun while it lasted
