About

The wife (Trina) laments about her failed marriage to Marvin. This is also the first time we learn about her suspicion that her husband doesn’t love her anymore and isn’t being faithful. However, she assumes that he is cheating on her with another woman, when in fact, he’s gay.

I Feel Him Slipping Away Lyrics

[WIFE]
We've been married for ten years
Eight were fine; and six were not
It seemed longer than ten years
What I recall is better forgot

The first two were the best years:
When the kid was born
When the word seemed okay

But I
I felt him slipping away
I felt him die in my arms
His charms
Were not for me
How could I ever compete?
The cause of all his lust-
She must
Be sweet...

...And maybe too old
She might have a limp
Or she might have
Acne, or polio, or something

If the lady's just an ass-
Say she dotes on cops and g-men-
Let's suppose she's lower class-
How'd he choose her over me then?

(spoken)
He used to love me
He used to love me
He used to love me

[GOLDBERG, spoken]
Ah, don't be pathetic

[SWEETHEART, spoken]
She's so pathetic

[WIFE]
Is it hard to deceive me?
No, just bring a note from home
He could just as well leave me;
When he's with us
He's somewhere alone

[GOLDBERG and SWEETHEART]
You'll be fine...

[WIFE]
I'll be fine if he leaves me
But, I'm sure he won't
Trouble is we don't say
But I...

[LADIES]
I felt him slipping away
I felt him die in my arms
His charms
Were not for me
No. No. No. No. No
How
Could I ever compete?
The cause of all his lust?
She must
Be sweet

[WIFE]
The bitch might be dumb
She might think he's Kris Kringle
And honest
And single

[SWEETHEART and GOLDBERG]
He will not admit the truth

[WIFE]
He thinks I might like surprise

[SWEETHEART and GOLDBERG]
Why are men so damn uncouth?

[WIFE]
Oh...

[ALL]
All they every tell are lies!

[WIFE]
I feel him slipping away
I feel him dead in my arms
His charms
Are not for me
How
Can I ever compete?
The cause of all his lust
She must
Be sweet...

(spoken)
Liar!!!
