And when I awoke
I was alone
Whispered the phone.
And when I awoke
I was alone
This bird had flown.
Biting my thumb.
Biding my time.
I let her fly
I lit a fire
I licked a friar.
I lit a fire.
I once hurt a girl, or should I say she once hurt me.
I once had a girl, or should I say she once had me.
I sat on the floor
By the mybine
I sat on the floor
Biding my time
I sat on the rug, biting my tie.
I sat on the rug, biding my time.
I told her "I didn't get called on to sleep in the bath"
I told her "I didn’t" and crawled off to sleep in the bath
I wanted a girl or should I say she wanted me.
I once had a girl or should I say she once had me.
I wanted a girl
Or should I say
She wanted me
I sat on her rug
Biting my tongue
Drinking her wine.
I once had a girl
Or should I say
She once had me
I sat on her rug
Biding my time
Drinking her wine.
Isn't it good, no Injun would.
Isn't it good, Norwegian wood?
Isn't it good
Knowing Sherwood?
Isn't it good
Norwegian wood.
It's scented good, Norwegian wood.
Isn't it good, Norwegian wood?
Knowing she would
Norwegian wood
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn't, encraldoff (meaning "intend") to sleep in the bath.
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
I thought he was saying he had no intention of sleeping in the bath. Pretty racy for a 7th grader.
So I let her fly
So I lit a fire
So, I mystify.
So, I lit a fire.
