HELL’S KITCHEN - lyrics/music by Richard C. (Kluso) Tollini ©2003
(1st Verse)
Sitting at a table in the middle of Hell’s Kitchen Oblivious they kiss
Chaos all around them in the middle of Hell’ Kitchen
Why don’t it end like this Why don’t it end like this
(2nd Verse)
A wink and shared smoke between them right here in hell’s kitchen ( they’re planning they’re lives together now)but why won’t end like this, yeah Why won’t it end like this
(PreChorus)
Love growing ripe as a summer cherry (gold as an August moon)
He leans to her and says “hey girl…how bout lets get married”
(Chorus)
But why don’t it end like this why don’t it end like this
(3d verse)
Superficial wit crackback hit lipstick on the mirror “Boys lie boys lie”
A momentary slip, a little bit too much hip…he moves on to another ‘ Girls cry…
Come on lets hear all the girls cry
(Bridge)
Lives entwined can’t see beyond the next moment
Whispered lies can’t wait another second
Short goodbyes planning for the next tragedy
Don’t look now this could be your or me
(Chorus)
But why don’t it end like this how could it end like this
(Interlude) --
(verse )
Superficial wit crackback hit lipstick on the mirror “Boys lie, boys lie”
A momentary slip, a little bit too much hip…he moves on to another ‘ Girls cry…
Come on lets hear all the girls cry
(Repeat Prechorus)
Love growing ripe as a summer cherry (gold as an August moon)
He leans to her and says “hey babe (girl)…how bout lets get married”
(Chorus– Outtro)
But why don’t it end like this how could it end like this
