....And You Can Quote Me On That....!

I thought that I'd wasted all my chances 
with bitter dreams and circumstances 
that were always out fo my control 

And now it seems 
you're back to harvest my dreams 
occupy my nightmares
and reign over my galaxy 

I tell you baby 
I said now darling 
there s no one quite like you 
no other girl will do 
did you hear me honey 
then acknowledge
with a humble smile 
you've carried mine for several miles

In fact you must get tired 
of thinking of new ways 
to embarrass me 

But now I got a new friend called self respect 
and I'm trying it on for size
and I am quite sure that it needs to be tailored
but soon it will fit just fine 

And we'll laugh about 
all the times 
you left me in the lurch 
we'll move ahead 
to the play's third act 
and leave redemption to the church 

The ovations will break ear drums 
as our friends all cheer us on 
it will be our time at last 
we'll scoff at all those who laughed
................  and you can quote me on that.........!
