So You Got What You Want

FREDDIE
So you got what you want
What a nasty ambition!
Set me up, pull me down
Then exploit my condition

I should have guessed, woman
That if pressed, woman
You're on nobody's side but your own
And you're behaving
Like a mere woman
It's so clear, woman--
It's your sex!
Once they start getting old and getting worried
They let fly, take it out
On the one that supports them
That's you that I'm talking about

FLORENCE
Who'd ever guess it?
Such a squalid little ending
Watching you descending
Just as far as you can go
I'm learning things I didn't want to know

FREDDIE
Who'd ever think it?
This would be the situation--
One more observation--
How'd we ever get this far
Before you showed me what you really are?

FLORENCE
You'll be lost without me
To abuse like you're used to

FREDDIE
Go away! Just get out!
Be someone else's parasite!
