Tainted schemes
distorted dreams
things you want
you should let them be
aint got no time for secomd glance
loves like ours
full of second chances
get it right
but don't take this wrong
cause you miss a Good man
when he's gone
You aint the woman
I thought you were
I thought you wanted
cashmere, diamonds and furs
act like a bankhead buster
who jive and juke
you make me sick
I want to puke
leave me alone let me be
call me later
if we agree
I aint tryna be your thang
playing 'round
always changing things
mean ole triffle
foolish ways
if we hold on
we'll see better days
but you like fadding and fooling round
acing silly like some damn clown
suppossa be my Woman
but never arpound
Cause you a low-down cheating trick
who likes playing around
then when I'm serious
you jive and gonne
if I find a Nother
I'm gonna leave you alone
That's how it is
but it aint how it's gonna be
move on Sweetie
take your leave of me

Miss Tallulah Bankhead, you were the quintessential southern belle.
You played all your acting parts on the screen quite well.
With your ethereal beauty and your deep sultry voice,
you were the type of actress so many considered choice.
Although your personal life may have been controversial,
on the screen and the stage, your parts were very colorful.
You became a very famous actress in your day.
We miss you since 1968 when you passed away.
