(Do It) (Ever So) Gently Apr. 23/11 Karl Rigelhof

CHORUS:
If/when/before you break my heart
(I (just) ask you) do it (ever so) gently
It's been broken/torn (apart)
(One) more time(s) than (it) should (be)
I (should) (ha)ve kno/ew(n) (right) from the start
(W/that) you (were gonna)/w/could (do to)/(make a fool of) me
(So) go (ahead) (and) break my heart
(But) do it (ever so) gently

I only wanted a kiss
(But) all I got was a slap in the face
I thought I couldn't miss
((But) (then)) (/) you/she (certainly) put me in my place

(Then/so) how/what/maybe (about) a dance
(then/and) she/you stomped her heel on my toe
I never/didn't had/ve a chance
She/you made me feel like a schmoe /
But then you never know

I asked her (/) for (her) name (Apr. 25/11)
And she said (get lost)/(goodbye/(see you later))
I said/(told her) I don't play/know no/that game(s)
I said/(told her) I'm a great deal/bargain
Well worth the cost/price

I said can I buy you a drink
(And) no, but you can have mine, (was her)/she reply/ied
(As) she poured it over/on (my head)/me I didn't know what to think
Then (as) she threw her (twizzle stick)/olive(s) in my eye

And after closing time
She was walking out the door
I asked her your place or mine
The last thing I saw was her purse as/then my head hit the floor
