The Bird and the Bee - Man Lyrics

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 wake 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 cliche
I had no rights to a complaint
I guess it's just a little nuts or all a bit insane

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

Oh, please let me keep my head
It wouldn't do you any good just hanging by a thread
I want to be the best I can
Nose to the ground, it's pound for pound or stick it to the man

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

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
