benny my dear

day, zella

if you tell a bad joke or whether you're broke

it doesn't really matter to me

you don't act your age and your mother's insane

but nothing good is coming for free

i just wanna tell you when you're down on yourself

i won't be out looking 'round for nobody else

benny

my dear

how's the view from up here?

when you were a kid

i know that you hid

from everything that you had around you

so i pulled you in and i know that it's been

hard to have my love surround you

i just wanna tell you when you're down on yourself

i won't be out looking 'round for nobody else

benny

my dear

hmm-hmm-hmm

hmm-hmm-hmm

benny's on the mountaintop

don't be afraid that you're gonna get hurt

if you're living that way

benny

you'll never learn

for whatever it's worth

i know i touched a nerve

don't be surprised by the love you deserve

ooh-ooh-ooh
