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 to 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 everyman
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 [bad word] 
I guess it’s just a little nuts
We’re all bit insane

I want to be the best I can
For me for you for everyman
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 everyman
But I can slip, I lose my place
This shamefulness is hard to face
