VERSE 1:
couldn’t quite ignore your formal orders
though i tried to warn you, i was stoned and scorned
i was given colder shoulders from your daughters…
they had found their others, they became their mothers…
now you’re the only honest woman i know…
i wanted to show you a long time ago…
although i find you kinda hard to define…
there’s something about you that had boggled my mind…
TRANSITION 1:
for a long time…
ring ring goes the bell
been trying to warn you
but you know it so well…
PART 2:
so meet me in my dreams tonight…
i’ll see you there
i may be in my overcoat and underwear…
take me in your lovely eyes, we’ll dream away…
cast your spell another day…
it’s a fine line…
but i’ve been willing to die…
for a long time…
and now here i lie…
in that same old place…
weren’t you wondering why?
i apologize for my lack of success
i know there ain’t no room for the second best…
i know there’ll be no time ’til my final rest…
VERSE 2:
we’ll speed read through the day
as all of our fortunes were started that way
and then we’ll tiptoe through the night
continue to linger with all of our might
until all your baby mamas have gone…
then we’ll slowly surrender though we try to move on…
you’re the only one i wanna turn on…
i was wasted for weeks like your prodigal son
TRANSITION 2:
“ring ring” goes the bell
i’ll give you your space
and hope your timing will tell…
OUTRO:
ay ay yay
doo doo doo
i’ll get rid of you too…
(and i won’t stop)
(so don’t you move)
