Everything I've Got
Blossom Dearie Lyrics

Don't stamp your foot at me
It's impolite to stamp your foot at me

It's not quite right
Stamping your foot at me is not quite right

At man's ingratitude
A woman winks in response to man's ingratitude

But such an attitude just stinks
But such attitude just stinks

I have eyes for you to give you dirty looks
I have eyes just for you to give you dirty looks

I have words that do not come from children's books
I have words that are not for children

There's a trick with a knife I'm learning to do
I'm learning a trick with a knife

And everything I've got belongs to you
Everything I have belongs to you

I've a powerful anesthesia in my fist
I've got a powerful anesthesia in my fist

And the perfect wrist to give your neck a twist
And perfect wrist to give your neck a twist

There are hammerlock holds
I've mastered hammerlock holds

I've mastered a few
I've mastered a few of them

Share for share, share alike
We share equally

You get struck each time I strike
Every time I strike, you get struck

You for me- me for me
You are for me, and I'm for myself

I'll give you plenty of nothing
I will give you something of no value (nothing)

I'm not yours for better but for worse
I'm not just yours when things are better but for worse too

And I've learned to give the well-known witches' curse
And I've learned to curse like a witch

I've a terrible tongue, a temper for two
I've got a terrible tongue, and my temper is worse

And everything I've got belongs to you
Everything I've got belongs to you

Don't raise your voice at me
It's rather rude to raise your voice at me

That's very rude
It's very rude

Is rather crude
It's rather crude

It's wrong essentially when woman yells
It's essentially wrong when a woman yells

And confidentially, it smells
And confidentially, it smells

I'll converse with you on politics at length
I'll talk to you about politics for a long time

I'll protect you with my superhuman strength
I'll protect you with my superhuman strength

If you're ever attacked I'll scream and say, "Boo!''
If you're ever attacked, I'll scream and say, "Boo!''

And everything I've got belongs to you
Everything I've got belongs to you

I will never stray from home, I'll just stay put
I will never stray from home, I'll just stay put

Cause I've got a brand-new thing called athlete's foot
Because I've got a brand-new medical condition called athlete's foot

I'm a victim of colds, anemia, too
I'm a victim of colds and also anemia

And everything I've got belongs to you
Everything I've got belongs to you

Off to bed we will creep
We will creep off to bed

Then we'll sleep and sleep and sleep
Then we'll sleep and sleep and sleep

Till the birds start to peep
Until the birds start to peep

I'll give you plenty of nothing
I will give you something of no value (nothing)

I'll be yours forever and a day
I'll be yours forever and a day

If the first good breeze does not blow me away
If the first good breeze does not blow me away

You're enough for one man, that's why I'll be true
You are enough for one man, and that's why I'll be true

And everything I've got belongs to you
Everything I've got belongs to you

You may have some things that I can't use at all
You may have some things that I can't use at all

When I look at you, your manly gifts are small
When I look at you, your manly gifts are small

I've a wonderful way of saying adieu
I've got an excellent way of saying goodbye

And everything I've got belongs to you
Everything I've got belongs to you

You won't know how good I am until you try
You won't know how good I am until you try

And you'll let my well of loneliness run dry
And you'll let my well of loneliness run dry

I've a marvelous way of telling you no
I've got an amazing way of telling you no

And everything I've got belongs to you
Everything I've got belongs to you

And everything you want belongs to me!
And everything you want belongs to me!

And everything you need belongs to me!
And everything you need belongs to me!

Life has no shape or form
Life has no shape or form

It isn't life without that fool of mine
Life without that fool of mine isn't life

I used to gad about with any chap
I used to hang out with any guy

And now I'm sad about my sap
But now I'm sad about my foolish partner

He's a living thing that isn't quite alive
He's not quite alive and yet he is alive

He has brains enough for any child of five
He has a brain that's enough for a child of five

Oh, he isn't too rich in vigor and vim
Oh, he isn't too full of energy and vitality

But everything I've got belongs to him
But everything I've got belongs to him

He's a naughty brat that can't be left alone
He's a naughty brat who can't be left alone

He has eyes for every skirt except my own
He has eyes for every skirt (except mine)

Even under a tree, he grabs for the limb
Even while under a tree, he grabs for the branches

But everything I've got belongs to him
But everything I've got belongs to him

Something beats in his chest
Something beats in his chest

But it's just a pump at best
That's just a pump at best

I'm for him, he's for him
I'm for him, and he's for himself

He gives me plenty of nothing
He gives me something of no value (nothing)

When I see that funny face, I know
When I see that funny face, I know

Something scared his mother twenty years ago
Something scared his mother long before

But I'll never let go, he'll never be free!
But I'll never let go, he'll never be free!

Till everything he's got belongs to me!
Until everything he's got belongs to me!

And everything I've got belongs to him!
And everything I've got belongs to him!

And everything I've got belongs to us!
And everything I've got belongs to us!
