A successful operation I cut my conscience loose for a while Was no ticklish situation The girl just made me smile She said she didn't love me I said I didn't care Then I became entangled In Della's long brown hair She said she didn't hate me She just had another man But I would not be denied She soon gave in to my demand And loving makes loving And she seemed learnt to care And she let it down around me Della's long brown hair Well, the time before the last Is the sweetest time, you know And I stayed till it was past time Knew I had to say goodbye and go Then I kissed her for the last time She was leanin' down the stairs And I felt it fall around me Della's long brown hair I still feel it fall around me Della's long brown hair
