lyrics

Seeping down, you don’t want to be
Ah
Your heart down there ain’t hollow, darling
Ah
Life is lived in the springtime
And way downtown, you’re sunshine
There’s no need now to be solo
Oh

And if I jump back onto to the trail
I would just be catching your tail
Because the cheapest wine in the pail
Is the quickest one to go stale
And if I look real hard, I just might find
Twenty thousand pages of a real good time
You’re sad doll, baby, with your dress slung down
Pass around your number, and they’ll come around

On the windowsill of your penthouse
Baby, oh
I can see you pressing him down now
And I swear — now, I just don’t care
I was stepping back on the trail
But the weather, baby, is bound to hail
There’s no need now to be so low
Darling, oh
Oh

And with a lipstick kiss on their hands
You will lead them to promised lands
Of martinis, satin, and jam
And the well-pressed suits of a man
But if I look real hard, I just might find
That passion is a fashion you’re inclined to buy
You’re a sad doll, baby, when the man you want
Is the one who isn’t in your arms
