Blagged - Peter Sarstedt

And as I blagged a cigarette from her

And gazed upon her nakedness

She moved her lovely head from side to side

And said I was just like the rest

You got what you came for, she said

And that’s what you’re here for, I said

Aren’t you?

She pulled a sheet across her body

And told me to leave the way I came

I gave a rueful grin and found my clothes

And mumbled, yes, you’re all the same

I am but a man, I said

I do what I can, I said

Always, always

There’s a time for deeds and a time for talking words

What if I said that I love you

Would all your morals then be pacified

The act of love be then more true

Oh yes, you are smart, she said

But where is your heart, she said

You better go now

And as I walked outside and closed the door

I wondered if I’d won or lost

And if the status quo was still intact

And was it worth the time it cost
