Lyrics
Where are the flowers you promised me?
Where are the jewels you promised me?
No flowers? No jewels? You're breaking the rules
And I told you way back when:
I guess I'll have to go back to my men!
What kind of a car did lover-man get?
Does it have a bar and a TV set?
No bar? No set? Did lover forget?
Well, you know what happens then:
I guess I'll have to go back to my men.
You're all I see in my slumbers,
You are my favorite for sure.
Still, if there's safety in numbers
Baby, do I feel secure!
Where is the diamond ring we discussed?
Isn't it time for the ring we discussed?
No rock? No ring? Not a diamond thing!
As the French say, "c'est dommage"
I guess I'll have to go back to my entourage!
What can I get from one man that I can't get from ten?
I guess I'll have to go back to my guys!
Come back when you get wise!
Until then --
I guess I'll have to go back to my men!
