Leaving Miss Broadway
Miss Broadway you say you're puzzled
by this reaction that you get
It seems you're always wanted
by the men with which you pet
Why do they come calling
with chests that heave and sigh?
When all you did is laugh with them
and touch them on the thigh
The legions that surround you
these victims of your charm
You keep their fires smouldering
cuz their burning keeps you warm
And the sexual harassment
that follows you around
Is just a way to clear the deck
for some new prospect that you've found
Well I know that you believe each new invention of the truth
and I know the next five minutes are what you're trying to get through
But the man who really loved you and believed you all along
has seen the truth and shuddered, and is singing you this song
Leaving Miss Broadway
you can't have my love anymore
I'm Leaving Miss Broadway
your game's already played
now I'm just rain on your charade
I saw you on my TV
taking credit for my work
And I knew if I said anything
that I would be the jerk
There's always some ex-boyfriend
some jealous, has-been clown
Trying to muscle in the spotlight
trying to keep the lady down
There's a comfortable old story
'bout the man without a clue
Who rises to the top on work
some woman had to do
But political correctness
won't accept the inverse true
We just can't see painted toenails
on the foot that fits that shoe
Leaving Miss Broadway
you can't have my love anymore
Leaving Miss Broadway
I guess I lost my taste
for your carrot in my face
It must be very chilling
to stare at your blank page
When integrity you're selling
and sincerity's the rage
So you work your practiced dogma
your "I'm a victim" cry
You've come a long way baby
you can smoke and drink and lie
Leaving Miss Broadway
you can't have my love anymore
I'm leaving Miss Broadway
your game's already played
now I'm just rain on your charade
Leaving Miss Broadway
you can't have my love anymore
I'm leaving Miss Broadway
I guess I lost my taste
for your carrot in my face
