Ira Marlowe - Lyrics - Check, Please!

You told me that you'd feed my hungry heart And darlin' I believed you at the start But it ain't worked out quite that way at all Cuz the food was bad And the portions were small I loved you, yes I did and that's no lie I praised you to the earth and to the sky I gave you all I had until you had me on my knees Check, please!
You told me that you'd warm me up inside And serve me all the love I'd been denied But warm and tender never was your style So you served it cold Without a smile I loved you, yes I did, you know it's true I praised you to the stars and to the moon I did my very best the way you tested and you teased Check, please!
Check it and you'll find it to be true That everything you give comes back to you And when you're old and lonely and you hang your head to cry Please check the mirror and you'll see the reason why Check, please! I was trying to get a table at the restaurant of love You asked me if I had a reservation And when I told you, "Darlin', I been waitin' all my life" You said, "Honey, won't you sit down in my station?" My hunger made me leap before I looked I shoulda gotten take-out, I got took You made me stand in line behind the busboy and the cook and now I need A check, please!
