Ain't for rings
Paper rings
And I'll be what I am
A salt-on-the-rim man
And I'll be what I am
A solitary man
And I'll be what I am
a sellotaper man
And I'll be what I am,
a solitary man
Belinda was mine 'til the time that I found her
Ballin' Jim and lovin' him
Melinda was mine 'til the time that I found her
Holdin' Jim and lovin' him
I'll be what I am, Silent Temembeh
I'll be what I am, a solitary man
I've had it to here
Bein' where
Love's a small world
Part-time thing
Papal ring.
I've had it to here
Bein' where
Love's a small world
Part-time thing
Paper ring.
Me and Sue
To that I do.
Me and Sue
But that died, too.
Summer silver bird
Solitary man
Then Sue came along, loved me strong
That's what I thought
Me and Sue, but that guy too
Then Sue came along, loved me strong
That's what I thought
Me and Sue, but that died too
Then Sue came along
Loved me strong
That's what I thought
Me and Sue
That guy too.
Then Sue came along
Loved me strong
That's what I thought
But me and Sue
That died, too.
Then she came along, loved me strong, that's what I thought
Me and Sue,
But that guy, too.
Then Sue came along, loved me strong, that's what I thought
But me and Sue,
That died, too.
