A silver-studded rim that glistens
Fmaj7 G
And an ankle-star that blinds me
Fmaj7
And a lemon sole so very high
G
Which only reminds me to tell you
F C
Break the news gently
F C
Break the news to him gently
Bengali, Bengali
It's the touchy march of time that binds you
Don't blame me
Don't hate me
Just because I'm the one to tell you
That life is hard enough when you belong here
That life is hard enough when you belong here
Oh...
Shelve your Western plans
Oh...
Shelve your Western plans
'Cause life is hard enough when you belong
Life is hard enough when you belong here
Oh...
Shelve your Western plans
Oh...
Shelve your best friends
'Cause life is hard when you belong here
