Oh, come and stay with me for a while
The ballerina's cramping my style
The lookalike of Stevie Nicks' has got a
Load of other tricks I'd rather not speak about
Oh, can I come and live with you for a while?
The river's dry, the sweetie's got me in denial
I've been a bad man, lady
But you know me, baby, I'd do anything for a smile
You only skip my mind, but you waste my time
On telephone calls that I know are going nowhere
It's really not fair
When you tell me that my madness will always be there
Shall I bin this pile of promises?
These apologies are just far too late
Cause the voice like Jackie Kennedy, is in dire need of a remedy
Taking me out of my sober state
Oh, can I come and live with you for a while?
The river's dry, the sweetie's got me in denial
I've been a bad man, lady
But you know me, baby, I do anything for a smile
You only skip my mind, but you waste my time
On telephone calls that I know are going nowhere
It's really not fair
When you tell me the jealousy will always be there
And I know, there's not nothing left to hide
You seen my skin and bones and now you're tearing at me inside
Now we know, that's there's nothing left to hide
Can we save a lot of trouble and
Money and move out to the countryside?
Oh!
You've only skipped my mind, but you waste my time
On telephone calls that I know are going nowhere
It's really not fair, when you tell me the jealousy will always
Skip my mind, but you waste my time
On telephone calls that I know are going nowhere
It's really not fair
When you tell me my madness will always be there
