To You
Lyrics
Like an old shoe You are the one With your tongue hanging out And your laces undone
I have walked and reached Halfway around this world Still I'm dying to get you to come Just to be my girl
It might make me sad If I had to go home And lie like a rug In front of the fireplace
Like a luckless thief Whose pockets are empty Still I'd love to turn out the light Just to see what you'd give me
Oh, folks see you walkin' They talk to me They ask me, "Hey stranger Is that your girl?"
I shake their hands and nod They see the reason why I'd like to make us a home With a few chickens outside
If I keep on feeling this way Perhaps I'll soon get bored And go back home from where I came And let this all pass
Of anxious moments You have given me a few Still I'd like to get you alone Just to know what you'd do
