I was just that old
That August dark, dark day
Swear that you never saw her face
Swear that you never heard her sayNo spoken word
No small command
What was it she wanted?
They say she had everythingNo spoken word
No small command
What was it she wanted?
They say she had everythingWhat shall I do?
What shall I say?
Should I say, oh, all the things
That I'd like to say to you?No spoken word
No small command
What was it she wanted?
They say she had everything
Let's make a deal hereOoh, for one night
Well baby, you fill the night with the
Wind and the rain and the waterOh, for one night
Well, just for one night
You know that
Well, that disastrous soundNow it will make me wiser
He says, and it will make you look
She says, look out
I don't know how to learn
From the pages of a bookWell, I either say too much
Or I, I don't say enough
Well, I play too hard
Still I'm not tough enough
What was it she wanted?
They say she had everythingNo spoken word, oh
No small command
What was it she wanted?
They said she had everythingOoh, come around tonight, indecent
Well, ah, ha come around
Tonight, indecent baby, well
You fill the room with the rain and the wind and the waterIf you tell me
One more time
Oh baby, take it easy
Well, you won't see me ever againSome people walk down that darkened street
With the faith of a child
And so go the faithless
But after awhile, she saysNo spoken word
Let's make a deal here
No small command
What was it she wanted?
They said she had
Ooh, I don't want to know about it
