Joan Armatrading Tall in the Saddle lyrics

Say what you will
You can't take the stars at night
Take your love
But that doesn't stop my life

You've been fooling around
I looked to you for love
Thought you walked on holy ground
But oh, you're mean

I thought that here
Was a guy, brave and strong
A brother to his brothers
Brave and strong

Was preaching what to practice
But that don't mean a thing
You're mean

Tall in the saddle
One of these days you're gonna have to dismount
You don't leave me downhearted
But I'm sorry that you have to go
'Cos we had fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
We had fun while it lasted
We had fun while it lasted

You were God's gift to girls you persuaded
Then you, you beat up on their hearts, you made it
You made it, you made it, you made it

Oh you're mean

Tall in the saddle
One of these days
You don't leave me downhearted
But I'm sorry that you have to go
'Cos we had fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
We had fun while it lasted

You were God's gift to girls you persuaded
Then you, you beat up on their hearts, you made it
Oh you're just a mean

Tall in the saddle
One of these days you're gonna have to dismount
You don't leave me downhearted
I am sorry that you have to go
'Cos we had fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun, fun
We had fun while it lasted

Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun, fun
We had fun while it lasted
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun, fun
We had fun while it lasted
