Tess's Torch Song

I had a man



He was a good man



That is, you see, what I mean is



I thought he was a good man



I had a friend



She was a good friend



I told my friend 'bout my man 'cause



I thought she was a good friend



Life was sweet



Didn't I have my man?



World complete



Then the fireworks began



Ain't got no man



Ain't got no friend



I bet you can guess



Just exactly what happened



That was the end



The end of my friend



The end of my man



And darn near the end of me



Life was sweet



Didn't I have my man?



World complete



Then the fireworks began



Ain't got no man



Ain't got no friend



I bet you can guess



Just exactly what happened



That was the end



The end of my friend



The end of my man



And darn near the end of me
