Tell Me Washington

I’ve heard whispers in town
That you’ve been running around
That you’ve been lying and cheating
And laying the money down
Laying it down, while you’re laying her down

You say come on baby can’t you see?
You’re the luckiest girl that could ever be
I give you what you want
I give you what you need
What I need? I don’t think you know what I need

Chorus:
So tell me Washington do you love me?
In your big White House are you thinking of me?
No.

You bring home the roses and gold
When all I want is someone to hold
When all I want is to know
That you’re true
Tell me your true
It’s the least you could do

And now here I am again sitting at home
Here I am once more sitting alone
Waiting on the ring of the telephone
But we don’t talk anymore
Baby how come we don’t talk anymore

Chorus

You say, come on baby you know you’re free
But I’ve seen the way you look at me
I caught your eyes when I disagreed
You call that free?
That’s not what I see

Chorus

How about the poor and the hungry
The ones you leave for your power and your money
You’d better keep me happy so I won’t see
Ohhhh,

Chorus
