lyrics

I'm talkin' 'bout the man with the golden arm
I'm talkin' 'bout the man with the golden arm
I'm talkin' 'bout the man with the golden arm
I'm talkin' 'bout the man with the golden arm

He told me his arm was golden
He told me it was made out of gold
He told me he had a beautiful wife
He lied to me

He told me he had a dog named Lassie
That was true
He told me I had a beautiful wife
That was true

I'm talkin' 'bout the man with the golden arm
I'm talkin' 'bout the man with the golden arm

They warned me
They said he had a golden arm
They lied to me
I said I was not worried
I knew it was just made of silver
I lied to me

He said I had a beautiful wife
He said he really liked my wife
He said they had a real good time together
She told me nothing even happened

I'm talkin' 'bout the man with the golden arm
I'm talkin' 'bout the man with the golden arm

He told me I had a beautiful wife
He told me they had a real good time together
She told me nothing even happened
She lied to me

She couldn't even see me
She couldn't even talk to me
She lied to me
She lied

She said I was nothing
She said I could not compare
She said my arm was made out of shit
She said I was nothing compared with

I'm talkin' 'bout the man with the golden arm
I'm talkin' 'bout the man with the golden arm

He lied to me
She lied to me
I lied to me
