Don't, don't, don't, don't leave me, don't leave me here

Skirt in the air with muted cares, all limbs and love absurd

I know I say, "Just let me stay"

But stomp the ground, push me around and send me on my way



No, no, no don't leave me, don't take my word

I've lost my head, I need my bed

I promise you my bird

When I wake all sweet and sound

Without a care or woe

I'll thank you dear, I'll kiss you love

No matter friend or foe



I want to be the best I can

For me, for you, for every man

But I can slip, I lose my place

This shamefulness is hard to face



No, no, no don't tell me of what I've done

I might ignore, just close the door before you have your fun

You tell it with such grace and wit

I know it can be humorous but I don't have the heart for it



Oh, oh, oh don't look, I've lost my way

I'll button up, hold out my cup and beg for a cliche

I had no rights to a complaint

I guess it's just a little nuts or all a bit insane



I want to be the best I can

For me, for you, for every man

But I can slip, I lose my place

This shamefulness is hard to face



Oh, please let me keep my head

It wouldn't do you any good just hanging by a thread

I want to be the best I can

Nose to the ground, it's pound for pound or stick it to the man



I want to be the best I can

For me, for you, for every man

But I can slip, I lose my place

This shamefulness is hard to face



I want to be the best I can

For me, for you, for every man

But I can slip, I lose my place

This shamefulness is hard to face
