ADELAIDE:
Nathan, that is the biggest lie you ever told me!
NATHAN:
But I promise you it's true!
ADELAIDE:
You promise me this, you promise me that
You promise me anything under the sun
Then you gimme a kiss
And you're grabin' your hat
And you're off to the races again
When I think of the time gone by
NATHAN:
Adelaide, Adelaide.
ADELAIDE:
And I think of the way I tried
NATHAN:
Adelaide!
ADELAIDE:
I could honestly die
NATHAN:
Call a lawyer and sue me, sue me,
What can you do me? I love you.
Give a holler and hate me, hate me,
Go ahead hate me, I love you.
ADELAIDE:
The best years of my life
I was a fool to give to you...
NATHAN:
All right already, I'm just a no-good-nick
All right already, it's true, so Nu?
So, sue me, sue me, what can you do me?
I love you!
ADELAIDE:
You gamble it here, you gamble it there
You gamble on everything, all except me
And I'm sick of you keepin' me up in the air
Till you're back in the money again.
NATHAN:
Adelaide! Adelaide!
ADELAIDE:
And I think of the way I try
NATHAN:
Adelaide!
ADELAIDE:
I could honestly die
NATHAN:
Serve a paper and sue me, sue me,
What can you do me? I love you.
ADELAIDE:
Atchoo!
NATHAN:
Give a holler and hate me, hate me,
Go ahead hate me I love you.
ADELAIDE:
When you wind up in jail
Don't come to me to bail you out...
NATHAN:
All right already, so call a policeman!
All right already, it's true, so Nu?
So, sue me, sue me, what can you do me?
I love you!
ADELAIDE:
You're at it again, you're running the game
I'm not gonna play second fiddle to that
An' I'm sick an' and I'm tired of stalling around
An' I'm telling you now that we're through
When I think of the time gone by
NATHAN:
Adelaide, Adelaide!
ADELAIDE:
And I think of the way I try
NATHAN:
Adelaide!
ADELAIDE:
I could honestly die
NATHAN:
Sue me, sue me,
Shoot bullets through me,
I love you.
