It's a little bit of this and a little bit of that Oh girl I love it when you just wear your hat And your hair drapes down Down to your tips I'm drinking too fast Now I'm only taking sips I'm sipping from the flask She continues the task Of turning me on to her groove She danced the plies To Purple Haze In the privacy of our own room I need a little more if I'm gonna make it through Sometimes you get what you need Sometimes you get what you need It's a pie-eyed poet's plea I'm out of focus and I start to stare And then she puts her leg up on the chair It's a fault-line tremor and I'm starting to shake Feel like a one-eyed rattlesnake And I'm down on my knees, baby please Sometimes you get what you need Sometimes you get what you need It's a pie-eyed poet's plea Every three or four days, maybe two I get that look and she knows just what to do She pours me a silver, grabs her velvet cape And then she lowers the lights and draws the drapes I'm down on my knees, baby please
