That's what I want
|
That's what I need
|
That's what I want
|
Ho down
|
She sprays her lies around her like the clouds release the rain
|
An endless stream of promises that vaporize again
|
Remember last Tuesday when you said it was the end
|
You caught her in your Nissan getting funky with your best friend
|
She will never change till her flesh is under dirt
|
But then at least she's hangin' with neighbors she deserves
|
Forgive me if I seem to sound a little on the loose
|
But I cannot pour sugar just to sweeten up the truth
|
I would like to wish for her a long forgotten dream
|
Happened early morning when I was two or three
|
Everyone around who didn't quite fit in the mix
|
Turned and waved goodbye and disappeared without a hitch
|
Except my friend Billy who lived just across the way
|
The world belonged to us forever on from that day
|
Until we ran into that sneaky girl from down the street
|
Who tried to smile so pretty stealing Billy right from me
|
[Chorus]
|
The world spun around her everywhere that she would go
|
But even my friend Billy knew that she was just a -- oh no
|
She had such a way to twist and turn a simple truth
|
Told my friend Billy I had been a little loose
|
Then Billy took her arm and left me standing all alone
|
I just had to wait there watching them do-se-do
|
Till Billy pushed her in the deepest darkest hole around
|
It was goodbye sneaky girl -- ho down
|
I would like to wish for her a place to somewhere far
|
A place in outer space to some exotic little star
|
A million miles away would probably suit the planet fine
|
Someplace where it's clear she is gone and you are mine
|
Or maybe some romantic little island in the sea
|
As far away as it is possible to be
|
She can have the flowers and the wind
|
And I can have my baby back with me once again
|
[Chorus]
|
I would like to wish for her another little story
|
My daddy said to me when I was just a little girly
|
He told me 'bout a pretty graceful lovely lady bird
|
Who never could find a nest good enough for her
|
From every tree she landed in she saw one that was better
|
So off she went before she ever could regain her breath
|
Wasn't it a pity when she finally hit the ground
|
It was goodbye lovely birdy -- ho down
|
Goodbye lovely birdy ho down --
|
