Adelaide confronts Nathan about standing her up, not to mention keeping her hanging for 14 years. In this song, Nathan speaks with a pronounced Lower East Side—that is, Jewish—inflection. Composer-lyricist Frank Loesser was Jewish, and the Damon Runyon stories that inspired the musical are full of J...
[ADELAIDE]
You promise me this, you promise me that
You promise me everything under the sun
But you give me a kiss and you're grabbing your hat
And you're off to the races again
When I think of the time gone by
[NATHAN]
Adelaide, Adelaide!
[ADELAIDE]
When I think of the way I tried
[NATHAN]
Adelaide!
[ADELAIDE]
I could honestly die
[NATHAN]
Call a lawyer and sue me, sue me
What can you do me?
I love you
Give a holler and hate me, hate me
Go ahead and hate me!
I love you
[ADELAIDE]
The best years of my life, I was a fool to give to you
[NATHAN]
Alright, already, I'm just a no-goodnik!
Alright, already, it's true
So nu?
So sue me, sue me
What can you do me?
I love you
[ADELAIDE]
But you gamble it here, you gamble it there
You gamble on everything, all except me
And I'm sick of you keeping me up in the air
'Til you're back in the money again
When I think of the time gone by
[NATHAN]
Adelaide, Adelaide!
[ADELAIDE]
And I think of the way I tried
[NATHAN]
Adelaide!
[ADELAIDE]
I could honestly die
[NATHAN]
Serve a paper and sue me, sue me
What can you do me?
I love you
Give a holler and hate me, hate me
Go ahead and hate me
I love you
[ADELAIDE]
When you wind up in jail, don't come to me to bail you out
[NATHAN]
Alright, already, so call a policeman
Alright, already, it's true
So nu?
So sue me, sue me
What can you do me?
I love you
[ADELAIDE]
You're at it again, you're running the game
I'm not gonna play second fiddle to that
I'm sick and I'm tired of stalling around
I'm telling you now that we're through
When I think of the time gone by
[NATHAN]
Adelaide, Adelaide!
[ADELAIDE]
When I think of the way I tried
[NATHAN]
Adelaide!
[ADELAIDE]
I could honestly die
[NATHAN]
Sue me, sue me
Shoot bullets through me
I love you
