She's Your Lover Now Lyrics - Bob Dylan

The pawnbroker roared 

Also, so, so did the landlord 

The scene was so crazy, wasn't it? 

Both were so glad 

To watch me destroy what I had 

Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it? 

Why didn't you just leave me if you didn't want to stay? 

Why'd you have to treat me so bad? 

Did it have to be that way? 

Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say 

Yes, and you, I see you're still with her, well 

That's fine 'cause she's comin' on so strange, can't you tell? 

Somebody had better explain 

She's got her iron chain 

I'd do it, but I, I just can't remember how 

You talk to her 

She's your lover now.

I already assumed 

That we're in the felony room 

But I ain't a judge, you don't have to be nice to me 

But please tell that 

To your friend in the cowboy hat 

You know he keeps on sayin' ev'rythin' twice to me 

You know I was straight with you 

You know I've never tried to change you in any way 

You know if you didn't want to be with me 

That you could . . . didn't have to stay. 

Now you stand here sayin' you forgive and forget. Honey, what can I say? 

Yes, you, you just sit around and ask for ashtrays, can't you reach? 

I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech 

With her picture books of the pyramid 

And her postcards of Billy the Kid 

(Why must everybody bow?) 

You better talk to her 'bout it 

You're her lover now.

Oh, ev'rybody that cares 

Is goin' up the castle stairs 

But I'm not up in your castle, honey 

It's true, I just can't recall 

San Francisco at all 

I can't even remember El Paso, uh, honey 

You never had to be faithful 

I didn't want you to grieve 

Oh, why was it so hard for you 

If you didn't want to be with me, just to leave? 

Now you stand here while your finger's goin' up my sleeve 

An' you, just what do you do anyway? Ain't there nothin' you can say? 

She'll be standin' on the bar soon 

With a fish head an' a harpoon 

An' a fake beard plastered on her brow 

You'd better do somethin' quick 

She's your lover now.
