[Verse 1]
Oh come and stay with me for a while
The ballerina is cramping my style
The lookalike of Stevie Nicks
Has got a load of other tricks
I'd rather not speak about
[Chorus]
Or can I come and live with you for a while?
The river's dry
The sweetie's got me in denial
I've been a bad man, lady
But you know me, baby, I do anything for a smile
You want to skip my mind but you waste my time
On telephone calls that I know are going nowhere
It's really not fair
When you tell me my madness will always be there
[Verse 2]
Should I bin this pile of promises?
Are these apologies just far too late?
'Cause the voice like Jackie Kennedy
Is in dire need of a remedy
Taking me out of my sober state
[Chorus]
Or can I come and live with you for a while?
The river's dry
The sweetie's got me in denial
I've been a bad man, lady
But you know me, baby, I do anything for a smile
You want to skip my mind but you waste my time
On telephone calls that I know are going nowhere
It's really not fair
When you tell me the jealousy will always be there
[Refrain]
And I know, there's not nothing left to hide
You've see my skin and bones and now you're tearing out my insides
Now we know, that's there's nothing left to hide
Can we save a lot of trouble, and money and move out to the countryside, oh
Who needs [?]
[Chorus]
You want to skip my mind but you waste my time
On telephone calls that I know are going nowhere
It's really not fair
When you tell me the jealousy will always
Skip my mind, but you waste my time
On telephone calls that I know are going nowhere
It's really not fair
When you tell me my madness will always be there
