The Real End - Rickie Lee Jones

Once I had a sweet love

Always followed me around

Way I treated my little lamb was like

The Marquis DeSade and her new clown

Well, I guess I hurt him, I guess I hung up

I guess I should have called him back

I guess I didn’t care, maybe I left him there

Maybe a woman just acts like that

Well, what’s the matter?

Hey, baby, baby, what’s the matter?

Don’t you want me?

What’s the matter?

Now baby, baby, what’s the matter?

Is this the real end?

Is this the real end?

Is this the real end?

Is this the real end?

Well, I have some dough

Now I have a big car

And I turned around and all the money was spent

I don’t know wherever it goes, but

That’s probably where my baby went

You got a new boy

He’s so fine

He wants to be with you all the time

But don’t tell him he’s the only one

Or your new boy becomes a hard to find

What’s the matter?

Hey, baby, baby, what’s the matter?

Don’t you want me?

What’s the matter?

Now baby, baby, what’s the matter?

Is this the real end?

Is this the real end?

Is this the real end?

Is this the real end?

Could I tell you about it?

Once you find yourself a better man

Treat him special all of the time

Well, make him some catfish, fry it up in bed

Don’t leave him hangin' on the telephone line

But keep him guessing, don’t tell him where you are

Keep all your old linen to yourself

Keep your bank account

What you don’t worry about

If you can give, well, it might be able to work out

What’s the matter?

Hey, baby, baby, what’s the matter?

You look so funny, what’s the matter?

Now baby, baby (What's the matter?)

Is this the real end?

Is this the real end?

Is this the real end?

Is this the real end, baby?
