Don't, don't, don't, don't leave me Don't leave me here Skirt in the air with muted cares All limbs and love absurd I know I say just let me stay But stomp the ground, push me around And send me on my way No, no, no, don't leave me Don't take my word I've lost my head, I need my bed I promise you my bird When I awake all sweet and sound Without a care or woe I'll thank you, dear, I'll kiss you, love No matter friend or foe I want to be the best I can For me, for you, for every man But I can slip, I lose my place This shamefulness is hard to face No, no, no, don't tell me Of what I've done I might ignore, just close the door Before you have your fun You tell it with such grace and wit I know it can be humorous But I don't have the heart for it Oh, oh, oh, don't look I've lost my way I'll button up, hold out my cup And beg for a cliche I have no rights to a complaint I guess it's just a little nuts We're all a bit insane I want to be the best I can For me, for you, for every man But I can slip, I lose my place This shamefulness is hard to face Oh, please let me Keep my head It wouldn't do you any good Just hanging by a thread I want to be the best I can Nose to the ground It's pound for pound Or stick it to the man I want to be the best I can For me, for you, for every man But I can slip, I lose my place This shamefulness is hard to face I want to be the best I can For me, for you, for every man But I can slip, I lose my place This shamefulness is hard to face
