[THE AMERICAN]   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 who supports them --   That's you I'm talking about      [THE AMERICAN & FLORENCE]   Who'd ever think 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   Who'd ever guess 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      [THE AMERICAN]   Go away! Just get out! Be someone else's parasite!      I'm not the kind to be vindictive   Holding some childish grudge   How could I be? I'm in the spotlight   Half of the world my judge      All I demand is those I work for   Those I give all my skills   All my time and pain   Those that I entertain   Give me the same compassion in return   But the fools never learn!
