Tess's Torch Song Songtext
von Cootie Williams

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


My 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′ll bet you can guess just exactly what happened

That was the end
The end of my friend
The end of my man
Almost the end of me

That was the end
The end of my friend
The end of my man
Almost the end of me
