Bengali, Bengali Bengali, Bengali Oh, shelve your Western plans and understand That life is hard enough when you belong here A silver-studded rim that glistens And an ankle-star that blinds me A lemon sole so very high Which only reminds me, to tell you Break the news gently Break the news to him gently "Shelve your plans" "Shelve your plans, shelve them" 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 Shelve your Western plans Shelve your Western plans Cause life is hard enough when you belong Life is hard enough when you belong here Shelve your Western plans Shelve your Western plans Cause life is hard enough when you belong here Life is hard enough when you belong </poem> {{CommonSongSections | Artist = Morrissey | Song = {{#replace:{{#replace:{{PAGENAME}}| (single)|}}| (song)|}}}}
