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 cliché



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
