Lydia

Lydia keeps my toothbrush in her apartment and she never complains Well, hardly ever And then jokingly, she says, "Boy, it's been so long since I held you" I nearly gave you up for dead I nearly gave you up for dead I nearly gave you up for dead Lydia, Lydia, how come you understand? I can offer you nothing at all This is more than I had planned Lydia, Lydia, I am at your command, at least until morning comes And I must be off again I must be off again Lydia, you know I always talk about making conscious decisions About running my own life Well, maybe I'm fooling myself It's a role I like to play 'Cause more often than not I'm down here on the corner I'm sorry I woke you Do you feel like some company? Babe, I need a place to stay Lydia, Lydia, how come you understand? I can offer you nothing at all No, this is more than I had planned Lydia, Lydia, I am at your command, at least until morning comes And I must be off again I must be off again Lydia, Lydia, how come you understand? I can offer you nothing at all No, this is more than I had planned Lydia, Lydia, I am at your command, at least until morning comes And I must be off again I must be off again I sleep with a woman who thinks I'm a child Well, maybe I am No, that wouldn't surprise anyone I suspect that much is true But Lydia, if you only knew how much I love you Did you know that I love you? It's the best that I can do Lydia, Lydia, how come you understand? I can offer you nothing at all No, this is more than I had planned Lydia, Lydia, I am at your command, at least until morning comes Then I must be off again I must be off again
