A cheap one To take you from here to heaven Do you believe that that will do for you? A quick one To unwind the slow turning hours Do you believe that that's what you deserve?
You touch my arm with your hand And my secret eye sees your shirt on the floor And I pull away while trying to stay by your side
And I'm tumbling, tumbling Out of the open arms of sin Tumbling, tumbling From ragtime to rags again
Listen I'm thinking words I'm not saying This is not the time to betray my desire for you
I'm sorry I led you into my indecision I was hoping that you could wash my confusion away
You touch my arm with your hand And my secret eye sees your shirt on the floor And I pull away while trying to stay by your side
And I'm tumbling, tumbling Out of the open arms of sin Tumbling, tumbling From ragtime to rags again
Parting Torn from your side with a whisper We stare at the clock aware that it's too late
Trust me Someday we will be lovers But somehow I wish that I'd shared a cheap one with you
And I'm tumbling, tumbling Out of the open arms of sin Tumbling, tumbling From ragtime to rags again
