Lyrics

Cuckoo

Cuckoo...

We've got forever

But you know that's not much time

For you to bring me the songs

And I'll pretend they're mine

I'll pretend they're mine

Cuckoo...

You said that you'd never

Forgive me that crime

Still you bring me the songs

And I will say we're fine

I will say I'm fine

And I will say I'm fine

Girl you come around sometimes

And give me your love

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Time's a tide and the music's ripe

With help, help from above

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Girl you come around sometimes

And give me your love

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Land slides and tides, took pride and lies

And help, help from above

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Cuckoo...
