Speak so softly and lowly like you want me to hear
And it just shows to go me, no need to speak clear
You're away on a movie and I want you to be
Be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be

You're away on a painting and I want you to be
And it just ain't worth waiting for what I don't want to see
You're away on a painting and it don't bother me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me

Come on baby, say you don't hate me
Grape leaf, stay fair, save me, startin' all over
Heather clover, come over rover, break me
Break me, break me

Speak so softly and lowly like you want me to hear
