Suddenly Lyrics - Singles - The Bogmen

"I know she's home", "Hello?" 

"Ah yeah, hello, can I speak to Darlise, please?" 

"She's not in right now" 

"Yeah, but that woman's never in 

I mean can you just tell her that Freddie called?", "Sure to" 

"And one more thing, if she doesn't want to talk to me 

Why doesn't she just tell me herself, I mean 

Whys she got to get her roommate to do it?" 

"I'm sorry, Freddie, this is Darlise 

I didn't mean to leave you hanging on a string like I did" 

"Yeah, well, I mean, if you're seeing another " 

"No other man, Freddie 

It's just that I've got my own home now 

My own life, my own job, I'm a working woman" 

"Yeah, just 'cause a man loses his job 

Doesn't mean you got to go dumping him on his ass" 

"I can't talk any longer, I gotta go" 

"All right, baby, I guess I'll talk to you later then 

Some point, have a nice life, do what you want, yeah 

Suddenly a woman leaves me 

I've got no job, machine relieved me 

Suddenly I've lost my piece of pie 

I'm now in mourning and I wear all blue 

That's the color you wear when the dead one's you 

Suddenly I am living in a lie 

My woman's off with some other guy 

I can remember the first time I saw her 

Hanging out in one of those singles bars 

Women wear really fancy dress 

She was drinking a really expensive mixed drink 

And smoking one of those Marlboro 100's 

With the big fancy plastic filters on the end 

Made her look like she had class, least I thought so 

But then suddenly, bitch left me 

All of a sudden like something suddenly 

Suddenly I'm on my own 

I don't hear no rings on the telephone 

And all the rings that I've given her 

Have been returned 

I cling to clothes she used to wear 

Then I try them out and I style my hair 

Suddenly I could never be as fine as she 

I've got her eyes but I sure don't have her teeth 

And I can remember when we would take walks 

Around the public pool and the way she would look at me 

And the way she would do this whistle and how I would feel 

I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try and show you what it was like 

Oh man 

Suddenly I found myself drinking from the lowest shelf 

When all of a sudden I just could not believe my eyes 

There goes some guy walking down the street wearing my tie 

Suddenly I'm not gonna let another man take my woman 

Not even death can do us part because when I'm an angel 

I'm gonna come down from Heaven 

And I'm gonna buy her a brand new Cadillac 

I'm gonna buy her a brand new Cadillac 

Let me tell you why, let me tell everybody why 

Because in the 50s it was pompadours 

And in the 60s it was peace 

In the 70s it was bell-bottoms, I don't know why but 

In the 80s Ronald Reagan, BMWs, sushi 

Back home I used that for fertilizer 

But in the 90s, it's love, love is the new fad 

I love you, good God almighty 

Suddenly I have found myself alive
