Dory Previn - Brando Lyrics

Of course, I always told myself
You know how women get
I'll bet I could have handled him
If only we had met

Where other women failed him
When other women tried
I alone could cater to his passions
And his pride

Talk about deflated egos
That was the woman's thing
Christ we only felt complete
At the feet, at the feet of a king

Of course I'm liberated now
I see life as it is I call my soul
My very own and I no longer covet his
No one else can get you through

I've learned with some regret
I've outgrown all my heroes
I am cured of kings and yet

And yet the other night
By chance, I saw him
There on the TV screen
Overbearing arrogant

Marvelous marvelous
And oh, so mean
And that old addiction gripped me
You know how women get

I'll bet I could have handled him
If only we had met, oh I'll bet
I could have handled him
If only we had met
