Lyrics
[Verse 1] She said, "Come in, my dear You're looking tired tonight Your bath is drawn, let me loosen your tie And fix you your usual drink" [Verse 2] He settles back Takes a magazine Kicks off his shoes As he studies the form Of every appealing soubrette [Pre-Chorus] But where are the flowers that he used to bring? Every endearing remark Reminds her of passionate promises That he only made in the dark In her bed [Chorus] She wants to shout at the back of his head Look at me, look at me, look at me I'm afraid Look what it's come to Now I'm just your mistress and maid [Verse 3] The wine is warm But the dinner is cold The look in his eye tells her it won't be long Till the girls on the page come to life [Pre-Chorus] And they'll get the flowers that he used to bring With every endearing remark And all of the passionate promises He'll never fulfill in the dark In their bed [Chorus] She wants to shout at the back of his head Look at me, look at me, look at me I'm afraid Look what it's come to I'm just your mistress and maid [Outro] Look what you've done to me I'm just your mistress and maid
