The Real End Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

Once I had a sweet love 

Always followed me around 

The way I treated 

My little lamb was like 

The Marquis D. Sade 

And her new clown 

I guess I hurt him 

I guess I hung up 

I guess I should have called him back 

I guess I didn't care 

Maybe I left him there 

Maybe a woman just acts like that 

What's a matter? 

Hey baby, baby 

What's a matter? 

Don't you want me? 

What's a matter? 

Now baby, baby 

What's a matter? 

Is this the real end? 

Is this the real end? 

Is this the real end? 

Is this the real end? 

Well, I had some dough 

Now I had a big car 

I turned around 

And all the money was spent 

I don't know wherever it goes but 

That's probably where my baby went 

You got a new boy 

He's so fine 

He wants to be with you all the time 

But don't tell him 

He's the only one 

Or your new boy becomes a hard to find 

What's a matter? 

Hey baby, baby 

What's a matter? 

Don't you want me? 

What's a matter? 

Now baby, baby 

What's a matter? 

Is this the real end? 

Is this the real end? 

Is this the real end? 

Is this the real end? 

Could I tell you about it? 

Once you find yourself 

A better man 

Treat him special all of the time 

Make him some catfish 

Fry it up in bed 

Don't leave him hangin' on the telephone line 

But keep him guessing 

Don't tell him where you are 

Keep on your old linen to yourself 

Keep your bank account 

What you don't worry about if you can give 

Well, it might work out 

What's a matter? 

Hey baby, baby 

What's a matter? 

You look so funny 

What's a matter? 

Now baby, baby 

What's a matter? 

Is this the real end? 

Is this the real end? 

Is this the real end? 

Is this the real end? 

Real, real
