Like a folk singer's song, I'm moving on And I'm not the kind of man that acts very strong When the girls are looking on When the girls are looking on (When the girls are looking on) If you tied my hands and put chains on my feet I can picture myself walking down any street Telling people that I meet, "Looks like rain to me" (Looks like rain to me)
Every single day at eleven I'm home in bed in sleep heaven Alone 'cause my girl leaves at seven Ain't got time for my bed-in She says "Stop pretendin' You're not John Lennon" Will I ever get over this Having tasted your lips with a kiss? You can cross me off your list Take these cuffs from off my wrist And drop your fist
As soon as I'm well I'm gonna leave my house Become more of a man and less like a mouse Drive my car down south to the Mississippi's mouth In the Gulf of Mexico I'll be soused Every girl I made in the shade of Esplanade I've saved in a song that I play when I'm afraid of a full-scale air raid From the choices that I've made
Every single day at eleven I'm home in bed in sleep heaven Alone 'cause my girl leaves at seven Ain't got time for my bed-in She says "Stop pretendin' You're not John Lennon" Will I ever get over this Having tasted your lips with a kiss? You would cross me off your list Take these cuffs from off my wrist And drop your fist.
