I just came inside, Cause there weren't no place to hide I had no idea Babe, I’d find you here today Well you can see I was doing fine, Working hard right down the line Played the holes from Bethnal Green down to LA
Before you trust me like your brother There's something in my head I want you to know
I've been resting, a drugstore cowboy Higher than a hawk's nest I was let down by an East End plowboy Who needed more time to rest, oh I had to rest and think again
Well I remember how you tried to explain (Remember) how you felt the same as me But you were tied to habit, not a lover. (Remember) And I guess you came to me cause you needed to be free It's sure good to know girl how we once we loved each other
But before you take me, before you love me like no other There's something on my mind I want you to know
Resting, a drugstore cowboy Higher than a hawk's nest Let down by an East End plowboy Who needed more time to rest I need more time to think again....
I wanna warn you before you take me for your lover There's something that if you don't know by now, you ought to know
Resting, a drugstore cowboy Higher than a hawk's nest Let down by an East End plowboy Who needed more time to rest, oh And I ……, my darling, and I thought again Yes I did, oh look out now!
