Sol
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
Re
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
Sol
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
Re
With my father in a casket, I had no plans
Sol
Sol Do Sol
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
Re
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
Sol Do Sol
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
Re
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around
Sol Re Do Sol Do Sol Re
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
Sol Re Do Sol Do Sol Re
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
Sol
Sol Do Sol
While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
Re
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
Sol Do Sol
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
Do Sol Re
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you
Sol Re Do Sol Do Sol Re
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
Sol Re Do Sol Do Sol Re
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
Mim Sol Do Re Mim
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
Sol Mim Do Re Sol
But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part
Sol
Sol Do Sol
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
Re
But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind
Sol Do Sol
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
Do Sol
It's a bed and a bathroom
Re
And a place for the end
Sol Re Do Sol Do Sol Re
I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
Sol Re Do Sol Do Sol Re
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
Re Sol
