(spoken intro)
|
|
I get this message on the message machine That she's cooking dinner
|
tonight So I go out and pick up a bottle of wine And when I get there I'm a little nervous
|
and I run out of things to say
|
|
So I say, "I, uh, like your wooden floor boards"
|
She is laying in flannel sheets
|
The brass bed speaks
|
Come on lie in me
|
And there I'm standing naked and meek, stalling She says lovingly...
|
|
(chorus)
|
If I were the queen, and you were just the jester fool I would love you as my king
|
|
Just because I do, I do, I do love you
|
|
(spoken bridge)
|
At six am the alarm clock goes off And I realize I'm not used to looking at this particular ceiling She taps me on the shoulder with an empty shoe and says, "Hey, Cinderella, does this belong to you?"
|
|
Morning out on a naked street
|
Old lady on the corner is staring at me
|
I guess she ain't ever seen barefoot feet Or heard the words that she sung to me
|
