She's Your Lover Now
Bob Dylan
Letra

The pawnbroker he just roared

And it was good for the landlord

To see me so crazy, Wasn t it?

Both were so glad

To see me lose everything I had

Pain sure brings out the best in people, now, doesn t it?


Why didn t you just leave me If you didn t want to stay?

Why d you have to treat me so bad? Did it have to be that way?

Now you stand here asking me

If something happened, I got to say

And you, I see you re still with her, well

That s fine cause she s comin on so strange, can t you tell?

I think you better explain

What she should really do with her iron chain

I d do it before, but I just can t remember how

Talk to her

You re her lover now


Yes I, I ve already assumed

That we weren t in the felony room

But I ain t the judge, you don t have to be nice to me

Will you please tell that

To your friend with the cowboy hat

He keeps on sayin everything twice to me


You know I was straight with you

You know I never tried to change you in any way

You know if you didn t want to be with me

That you didn t have to stay.

Now you stand here sayin you forgive me, well

What can I say?

And you, you just sit around and ask for ashtrays,well, can t you reach?

I see you kiss her on the cheek everytime she gives a speech

With her picture books of the pyramid

And snapshots of billy the kid

They re all nice but I refuse to stand here and bow

Explain it to her

You re her lover now


And everybody that cares

I see them goin up the castle stairs

But I m not up in your castle, honey

Can t recall

San Francisco at all

I can t even remember El Paso, uh , honey

You know you never had to be faithful

I never expect you to grieve

Oh, why was it so hard to you

If you didn t want to be there, just to leave?


Now you stand here

With you finger s goin up my sleeve

And you, just what you do, anyway?

What are you, some kind of moose, Ain t there nothing you can say?

She ll be standin on the bar soon

With a fish head and a harpoon

An a fake beard plastered on her brow

You d better do something

You re her lover now


Why must I fall for this madness?

Do I look like Charles Atlas?

Do you think I still got what you still got, honey?

Her voice is really warm


(Oh, right)
