you make me lose my buttons
i don't like my clothes anymore
we're spending time and money
you're colder than yourself
you make me lose my buttons
i don't like my clothes anymore
you take me to new orleans
i know what my heart is for
you reach out for a blanket
now we're spending time and money
you're colder than yourself
i make trips to the bathroom and my friends all have true grit
i am speckled like a leopard
put a lid on shirley temple
you park me in your buick
you sing songs into my lips
i am speckled like a leopard
you put me in the big house
you put me in the big house
will it be the right time?
our heaven is just waiting so put your hand into mine
will you take that in stride?
our boat is just there waiting
so put that little hand in mine
and speak when you're spoken of
when you wear that body glove
you're acting on initiative
you're spelling out your love
you shouldn't be alone in there
you could be above ground
all i want is to be the very best for you
all i want is to do the very best by you
there'll be no life of crime
'cause we all go downtown sometimes
that time away from me will get you down
you put me in the big house
you put me in the big house
will it be the right time?
our heaven is just waiting so put that hand into mine
will you take that in stride?
our boat is just there waiting
so put your little hand in mine
and speak when you're spoken of
catch up on your sleep when you wear that body glove
you're acting on initiative
you're spelling out your love
you shouldn't be alone in there
you could be above ground
we should be through with this
