How can you face me
After what I've gone through,
All on account of you,
Tearin' my heart in two?
Woman, have you no conscience?
How could you be so bold?
Why have you grown so cold,
After the lies you told?
No one now seems to be on the level,
Since I found that my angel was
just a dog known as the Devil!
Why does I love ya, huh?
Why did you teach me how?
After you broke each vow,
How can you face me now?
[Spoken]
Aw, you dirty dog, get out from
the street, get out! Get out!
How can you face me now?
No, I didn't go there last night.
No. You know I wasn't there neither!
I went to the other place.
Yas!
Don't you talk back to me! Shut
up!
Well, all right!
Take your drums on out in the street!
Yeah!
Get out this gutter! Go on and
get going!
Yeah!
