Lyrics

Cleo

Cleo, Cleo, won't you come around and play girl Cleo, Cleo, won't you come around and stay girl You can find the lines to say, if you try Someone else has just confessed To drinking up all your wine. Cleo, Cleo, there's a way for you to find out How you should say, what you think is the way out Will you, won't you, will you see me through Maybe you could help me find a thing or two about you. Cleo, Cleo, now's the time for you to tell me If you, want to, you can leave it up to me girl After you have told me what you wanna do I could tell you, that I loved you, if I thought that it would be true. Cleo, Cleo, Oh Cleo I want you, me oh my. Oh Cleo I want you, me oh my.
