The Heel Lyrics - Eartha Kitt

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 slams the door without goodbye 

Tonight my eyes are jealous green 

Tonight I'm melancholy mean 

He meets in secret rendezvous 

Some dame to tell his troubles to 

The heel 

He'll promise her most anything 

A sable coat, a diamond ring 

She'll find him out when its too late 

And all she'll get will be the date 

But while the dawn's a distant thing 

In his embrace her heart will sing 

A dizzy head will spin with lies 

And all too soon a woman cries 

The heel

The neon lights that flash below 

Ignite my room with double glow 

And in the gloom I hear a laugh 

Its coming from his photograph 

I wring my hands and mop the floor 

And swear to even up the score 

But where a kitten cried tonight 

A panther waits to claw and bite 

The heel 

I dare not play my radio 

One more complaint and out I go 

I'm sick of playing solitaire 

The ace of spades is everywhere 

They'll be no sleep for me tonight 

The sheep I count are never white 

They all turn out to be jet black 

And who's the leader of the pack 

The heel 

Photos 

At dawn I know he'll stagger in 

Demanding coffee black as sin 

And as I take it from the tin 

I'll slip a little powder in 

He'll look at me and start to cry 

And cross his heart and hope to die 

And mumble I know how you feel 

But I've been on a business deal 

The heel 

Then as the pot begins to perc. 

I know my plan will never work 

When he starts to drink it up 

I grab his hand and break the cup 

Its only jealousy I know 

That brought my thinking down so low 

Why must I wait for him and grieve 

Why don't I just pack up and leave 

The heel 

But now he's reeling on the stair 

I'll try to act like I don't care 

For in my heart's arithmetic 

I find it takes two heels to click 

We're in a web of love and hate 

Where it will end is up to fate 

I'll let him have his little flings 

I'll be the chewing gum that clings 

To the heel
