Yowsir I hear ya, Mr. Sax Man Uh-huh, oh yeah Oh, yeah I hear ya, Mr. Coronet Man Though I may pretend I'm gay And hide away in a magic house of my own Hopin' that you may someday return and say I'm sorry I left you alone, dear I may be wrong to say, I miss you Or watch your view from afar But it's better to say, I love you Than to live with a lie in my heart
