[Verse 1]
[Am]
The one who has me for his own
Is on the town and I'm alone;
In his blue suit and his new tie
He slammed the door without
[G]goodbye!

[Verse 2]
[G]Tonight my eyes are jealous green,
Tonight I'm melancholy mean!
[F]He meets, in secret rendezvous,
Some dame to tell his troubles [Em]to,
The [Am]heel!

[Verse 3]
[Am]He'll promise her most anything,
A sable coat, a diamond ring;
She'll find him out when it's too late,
And all she gets will be a [G]date![D]
[G]But while the dawn's a distant

[Verse 4]
[G]thing,
In his embrace her heart [F]will sing;
Her dizzy head will spin with lies,
And all too soon a woman [Em]cries,
[Am]"The heel!".

[Verse 5]
The neon lights that [Am]flash below
Ignite my room with double glow;
And in the room I hear a laugh,
It's coming from his pho[G]tograph!

[Verse 6]
I [G]ring my hands and walk the floor,
And swear to even up the score!
[F]For where a kitten cried tonight,
A panther waits to claw and [Em]bite
The [Am]heel!
[Em]I

[Verse 7]
dare not [Am]play my [Em]ra dio,
[Am]One more complaint and out I go!
I'm sick of playing solitaire,
The ace of spades [G]is everywhere![D]
[G]There'll be no sleep for me tonight, The

[Verse 8]
[G]
sheep I count are never white!
[F]They all turn out to be jet black,
And who's the leader of the [C]pack[Em]?
The [Am]heel!
At [Em]dawn I [Am]know he'll stagger in, Demanding

[Verse 9]
[Am]
coffee black as sin,
And [Em]as I take it [Am]from the tin,
I slip a little powder [G]in [E]!
[G]He'll look at

[Verse 10]
me and start to cry,
And cross his heart and hope to die!
[F]And mumble "I know how you feel,
But I've been on a business [Em]deal!",
The [Am]heel!

[Verse 11]
Then as the [Am]pot begins to perk,
I know my plan will never work!
But when he starts to [Em]drink it up,
[Am]I'll grab his hand and [Em]break the cup!
[G]

[Verse 12]
It's only jealousy, I know,
That brought my thinking down so low!
[F]Why must I wait for him and grieve?
Why don't I just pack up and [Em]leave
The [Am]heel?!

[Verse 13]
But no he's really on the stair, I'll [Am]try to
act like I don't care!
For in my heart's arithmetic
I find it takes two heels [G]to click!

[Verse 14]
We're in a web of [G]love and hate,
Where it will end is up to fate!
[F]I'll let him have his little fling;
I'll be the chewing gum that [Em]clings
To the [Am]heel!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
