Songtekst
We almost got it together
And I'll be your favorite thing
Oh, stand by the river with hard luck eyes
And I'll just be open and sing
And if I was telling you a story
I was only trying to surprise
I wish, I was like the 'Frog Princess'
And I'd never tell you lies
And down by the soil of the hard life
Oh, they like to greet us with smiles
Oh, they like to tell us their good hostess
Had traveled a million miles
But you'd like it written closer
Yes, you'd like it written pure
If I told you this, would you miss my kiss?
No, you'd come right back for more
Oh, I'd like to be what I wanna be
But you want to carry on, but you need to take
What you have to take
But I'll still be here when you're gone
And there's a light by your window
And I'd like to capture you by there
And I'd like to hold you for all to see
But they don't really care
And if I said you're no peccadillo
Yes, I said you're a major thing
Would you stand by me?
At the corner dock and say, "Yes, this girl is the swing"
Oh, I'd like to be what I wanna be
But you want to carry on, but you need to take
What you have to take
But I'll still be here when you're gone
And I'd like another cue
That's why I strain to see
And I'd like the best in you
'Cos you write the best in me
And everybody was swinging
Oh, sworn into the heart and [Incomprehensible]
Oh, they were sure that I'd be burning
Yes, so their tart swerve to here might be
If I said you're gold inside
Yes, and if you were true to me
Would you hang around with that creepy smile
And crawl home back to me?
Oh, I'd like to be what I wanna be
But you want to carry on, but you need to take
What you have to take
But I'll still be here when you're gone
