No, no, no, don’t leave me
For me, for you, for every man
But I can slip, I lose my place
I have no rights to a complaint
It’s pound for pound
I might ignore, just close the door
I want to be the best I can
I want to be the best I can
But I can slip, I lose my place
Nose to the ground
For me, for you, for every man
This shamefulness is hard to face
When I awake all sweet and sound
Just hanging by a thread
Without a care or woe
You tell it with such grace and wit
I promise you my bird
It wouldn’t do you any good
I want to be the best I can
All limbs and love absurd
Oh, oh, oh, don’t look
I want to be the best I can
But I don’t have the heart for it
No, no, no, don’t tell me
I know I say just let me stay
Skirt in the air with muted cares
But stomp the ground, push me around
For me, for you, for every man
I want to be the best I can
But I can slip, I lose my place
I’ll button up, hold out my cup
Oh, please let me
I’ll thank you, dear, I’ll kiss you, love
Don’t take my word
But I can slip, I lose my place
I know it can be humorous
For me, for you, for every man
Before you have your fun
I’ve lost my head, I need my bed
We’re all a bit insane
I’ve lost my way
I guess it’s just a little nuts
Keep my head
Or stick it to the man
And send me on my way
And beg for a cliché
This shamefulness is hard to face
Of what I’ve done
No matter friend or foe
This shamefulness is hard to face
