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 on 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 every man
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 clich
