About the song
Influences: Rufus Wainwright
Lyrics
you had a hand in the jar
and one eye on my pocketbook
i could see it from afar
you were always worth a second look
call me old-fashioned
but i like to take my women like my wine
dry, bold, and australian
you were always dumb, but you were kind then
you'll never be that dumb again
if i'm the best that you could find
i pity all those other men
call me a coward
call me anything that makes you free
i'm just trying to keep the part of me that breathes
charlene, take what's yours and disappear
charlene, look away and let it go
it's too late to be sad for something we never had
i'm thinking of a number
what's it going to take to make you leave
i'm cruel, drunk, and carniverous
charlene, take what's yours and disappear
charlene, look away and let it go
and one eye on my pocketbook
i could see it from afar
you were always worth a second look
call me old-fashioned
but i like to take my women like my wine
dry, bold, and australian
you were always dumb, but you were kind then
you'll never be that dumb again
if i'm the best that you could find
i pity all those other men
call me a coward
call me anything that makes you free
i'm just trying to keep the part of me that breathes
charlene, take what's yours and disappear
charlene, look away and let it go
it's too late to be sad for something we never had
i'm thinking of a number
what's it going to take to make you leave
i'm cruel, drunk, and carniverous
charlene, take what's yours and disappear
charlene, look away and let it go
