(Benson/Falkner)
2
Like a folk singer's song, I'm moving on
3
And I'm not the kind of man that acts very strong
4
When the girls are looking on
5
When the girls are looking on (When the girls are looking on)
6
If you tied my hands and put chains on my feet
7
I can picture myself walking down any street
8
Telling people that I meet,
9
"Psst, looks like rain to me" (Looks like rain to me)
10
And every single day at eleven I'm home in bed in sleep heaven
11
Alone 'cause my girl leaves at seven
12
Ain't got time for my bed-in
13
She says "Stop pretendin'
14
You're not John Lennon"
15
Will I ever get over this
16
Having tasted your lips with a kiss?
17
You can cross me off your list
18
Take these cuffs from off my wrist
19
And drop your fist
20
As soon as I'm well I'm gonna leave my house
21
Become more of a man and less like a mouse
22
Drive my car down south to the Mississippi's mouth
23
In the Gulf of Mexico I'll be soused
24
Every girl I made in the shade of Esplanade
25
I've saved in a song that I play when I'm afraid of a full-scale air raid
26
From the choices that I've made
27
And every single day at eleven I'm home in bed in sleep heaven
28
Alone 'cause my girl leaves at seven
29
Ain't got time for my bed-in
30
She says "Stop pretendin'
31
You're not John Lennon"
32
Will I ever get over this
33
Having tasted your lips with a kiss?
34
You would cross me off your list
35
Take these cuffs from off my wrist
36
And drop your fist.
37
Drop your fist.
38
No matter how much you take of each song that I make
39
I'm not fragile, I don't break and I'm down at the lake
40
And I hope some day you'll have it made with all that money that you make
41
It was fun while it lasted and then it was blasted
42
Right out of the water and into fantastic
43
Now he feels shafted and she's already past it
44
She's like elastic and he just seems spastic
45
Every single day at eleven I'm home in bed in sleep heaven
46
Alone 'cause my girl leaves at seven
47
Ain't got time for my bed-in
48
She says "Stop pretendin'
49
You're not John Lennon"
50
Will I ever get over this
51
Having tasted your lips with a kiss?
52
You can cross me off your list
53
Take these cuffs from off my wrist
54
If I ever get over this
55
You can cross me off your list
56
Take these cuffs from off my wrist
57
And drop your fist.
