"Go Along" lyrics
(from "Stiletto" soundtrack)
[Luigi:]
oh!
I don't know who I hate more right now
Pietro, or myself...
There were signs from the beginning that I'd chosen to ignore
From the moment that we met I fought this mental tug of war
On one hand he was handsome, rich and hungry for my touch
On the other hand, he loved controlling me so very much
But I was flattered he chose a man of modest means
Surely, I could manage if I stayed behind the scenes
I'd go along
Yes, I would let him take the lead
I'd go along
If he insisted, I'd concede
For anytime that he objected
I was wrong and stood corrected
I'd suggest and he'd rejected
But I'd go along
Now over time as years went by my method did wear thin
Before I knew it was too late the mess that I was in
I overstayed my welcome washed my brain till I believed
That somehow, he would change in time and I would be relieved
Capitulating, I found myself just giving in
Subjugating me, myself and I so he could win
I'd go along
Hoping in time that he would learn
I'd go along
But it was none of his concern
No matter where I'd place myself
I'd have to just erase myself
To fit into his life and sing this song
I disappeared, my friends would say
Unrecognizable they watched me fade away
My joie de vivre once bright and bold
Now seems so middle aged, it's atrophied and old!
So now it's time to make a change no matter what the cost
To face all the loneliness, the fear of feeling scared and lost
For what kind of a life is this when bullied, blamed and bossed
I guess that I'll be going
Considering I'm tossed
No need to say goodbye
My love's gone high and dry
Whose fault this was there's no discerning
To the past, there's no returning
Go along, luigi
Go along
Going along!
Go along
Writing's on the wall, as they say
Don't look back now, clear the way
Hey, I'll find out some day where I belong
Just go along
Don't look back...
