Two Lovers

Two lovers stop for kisses on a wall

She asked him, "Never leave me"

He tells her that he won'tBut the boy is young and foolish and knows it all

And he puts it about when he goes out

Stories they get told

And stories, yeah stories get toldIt's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes

It's in his nature, his misbehavior, and misdemeanors

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toesAnd these lovers trip

And stumble down the road

And on the grass they fumble round

Like a flower their love growsAnd by the flower grows a weed

And not the kind you smoke

It raises up its ugly head

Our lovers are in a choke hold

Two lovers, two lovers in a holdIt's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes

It's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors

The boy ain't no genius, he just keeps her on her toesAnd I bet a bad thought don't cross her mind

And if it does, she just discards it till it's gone away

I bet of all of her, she sees, she feels

And there's somewhere that she stores it till it's gone away

Till it's gone away, till it's gone awayAnd it's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes

It's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toesIt's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes

It's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toesOn her toes

Said the boy ain't no genius but he keeps her on her toesTwo lovers stop for kisses on a wall

She asked him, "Never leave me"

He tells her that he won't
