Stay with me when I try
To tell you how it is
Become the one that knows it all
And you will never miss
It's too early for leaving
And too late to make friends
You checked in to Astoria
And ran up quite a bill and then
At Betty Ford, you saw his will
You fixed him up with sweeter pills
You stood in line, you took his hand
And swore to stay forever
Black widow with sparkling eyes
Blows a poisoned kiss
Set them up and you suck them dry
That's your only wish
Too early for leaving
And too late to make friends
Your touch was unforgiving
And you can not make amends
You were sublime
The perfect crime
You slipped a pill into his wine
And every day, you had your way
But swore to stay forever
Now your life is easy
When you're back out on the street
Musicals on Broadway and you're buying front row seats
Meet him at the station
Whoever's next in line
Pockets full of money
And an ocean full of wine
Couldn't have been more discreet
Wel, it could have been me
You were sublime
The perfect crime
You slipped a pill into his wine
And every day, you had your way
But swore to stay forever
You were sublime
Perfect crime
Poisoned kiss
Set them up
Suck them dry
