I danced in the desert, in the pouring rain Drank with the devil and forgot my name Woke with somebody when the morning came No one there to shame me for my youth Cause I wouldn't be with you
And then I found me a lover who could play the bass He's kinda quiet, but his body ain't Spend the days dreaming and the nights awake Doin' things we know we shouldn't do Cause I wouldn't be with you
Says he can't believe he found me Wraps his arms around me Yeah-eah, eah-eah-eah-yeah
[Chorus:] I can't let him in You call me up and ask me how I've been I'll call your bluff and Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies No, I can't let them in You play me rough, but I won't let you in So, call my bluff, I'll Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies Keep on telling you lies
Count down to the day they may come true
And I fell for a vagabond, a month at tops Lied and said his bike was in the "motor shop" Drove my car once and made the tire pop Still we had some fun, till I came to Cause I wouldn't be with you
On the Fourth of July, I met a man, "Pierre" Lied about his age, but I didn't care Spoke in broken English but the heart was there In those eyes of sky and ocean blue Cause I wouldn't be with you
He says he can't believe he found me Wraps his arms around me Yeah-eah, eah-eah-eah-yeah
[Chorus]
Count down to the day they may come true I'm counting dow-ow-ow-ow-own I'm still so dow-ow-ow-ow-own I'll come around
