Can't Help You Now Lyrics & Tabs by Paul Kelly
Can't Help You Now
guitar chords lyrics
So you're back in town with your ball and chain
And your best laid plansfunny how they all went bust again
I do declare it's a crying shame
And everybody else is always to blame
All your old-time friends they've gone to ground
The theatre's closedthey've torn all the posters down
Once you had a face that could launch a thousand masts
But what's a star without a cast?
It's getting hard looking in your eyes
Even your young child is getting wise
I can't help you now, darling, and that's the truth
Can't help you now, darling, I'm all out of juice
I can't help you now, darling, that's for sure
Can't help you now darling no more
I remember when I walked the streets all night long
I can't help you now, darling, that's for sure
Can't help you now darling no more
I remember when I walked the streets all night long
Pounding a poem to my brain and in the morning
I laid you down a song
I gave you all the sweetest meat,
I was happy just to lick the bone
Now I don't even pick up the phone
Pardon me if I seem cruel
But how long can I be your fool?
I can't help you now, darling, and that's no lie
Can't help you now, darling, don't even ask why
I can't help you now, darling, got to close the door
I can't help you now darling no more
