about

Hitting a low point in his career and relationship, a despondent Frank Sinatra threatens suicide to Ava Gardner, in hopes that it will make her stay.

lyrics

Ava no
Please don’t go
Not while I’m liable
To feel so low

I’ve never been one to take things lightly
You would know
So please just stay my dear
You’ve got to stay, my dear

Now I’m just a drunk
Whose race has been run
And you’re all that’s stopping me from becoming a world class bum

Career is through
Self-respect has fled too
All I have is you, my dear
Please don’t leave me too, my dear

When the bobby soxers dissipate, oh who will I have left?
What’s stopping me from ending it?
What’s keeping me from death?

I’ve uprooted my whole life for you, don’t let it be in vain
And I’ll love you til the day I die, don’t make it come today

I could take every pill in the cabinet
Turn the gas on and fall asleep
Slash open my wrists in the bathtub
Would you even pretend to weep?

I’m a wash up who wasted his one shot
Now I can’t even run to the gang
I’ll put a gun to my head
Shoot myself dead
This crooner’s gone out with a bang

Made a career of being miserable
This is just a new tank of fuel
But if you leave me, all of my suicide songs come true
