But Now I'm Back

But Now I'm Back - Pink Martini

My dear Maria

I'm here to see ya

Won't you please please open the door

I brought ya flowers

Been waitin' hours

Can't stand it anymore

So here's what happened

While you were nappin'

I just went out for a snack

I was feelin' famished

And then I vanished

But now I'm back

Now he's back

Had a snack

Now he's back

My heart is burning

For that love of ours

Yearning

For that sea of stars

Let me in so I can prove to you

That no one else

Can love you girl

The way that I do

Oh how I miss ya

I wanna kiss ya

And hold you close

From dusk untill dawn

So let's just make up

And when you wake up

I promise not to be gone

You know I love ya

Dream only of ya

So please please cut me some slack

I went away

Just a couple of days

But now I'm back

Now he's back

Cut him slack

Now he's back

Maria baby

I guess that maybe

You're still a little angry with me

But it's getting late and

The boys are waitin'

Gotta get something to eat

I better go now

I hope you know now

I love you that is a fact

Gotta hurry

But don't you worry babe

Cause I'll be back

He'll be back

It's a fact

He'll be back

Don't attack
