You Took Advantage Of Me Lyrics - Stritch - Elaine Stritch

When a girl has the heart of a mother 

It must go to someone of course 

It can't be sister or brother 

And so I love my horse 

But horses are frequently silly 

Mine ran from the beach of Okhala 

And left me alone for a filly 

So I have picked you up 

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all 

What's the use of trying not to fall? 

I have no will, you've made your kill 

Cause you took advantage of me 

I'm just like an apple on a bough 

And you're gonna shake me down somehow 

So, what's the use, you've cooked my goose 

Cause you took advantage of me 

I'm so hot and bothered that 

I don't know my elbow from my ear 

I suffer something awful each time 

You go and much worse when you're near 

Here I am with all my bridges burned 

Just a babe in arms where you're concerned 

So lock the doors and call me yours 

Cause you took advantage of me. 

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all 

What's the use of trying not to fall? 

I have no will, you've made your kill 

Cause you took advantage of me 

I'm just like an apple on a bough 

And you're gonna shake me down somehow 

So, what's the use, you've cooked my goose 

Cause you took advantage of me
