Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And though I stood on tenterhooks
I still took one last lingering look
And there was so much left unsaid
But, as they say, you makes your bed
But, as they say, you makes your bed
[Verse 2]
Yes, my sheets were always freshly laundered
Together, you and I could change the world
As long as there was no blood spilt
On my fresh white sheets
[Verse 3]
Fit as a fiddle, but so noncommittal
It's all I can do to stifle a smile
It's all I can do to stifle a smile
When you tell me old Mother Earth's turning senile
Mother Earth keeps turning and turning
While, of course, our young hearts are yearning
[Verse 4]
And when you tell me, you tell me
Oh, when you tell me, oh, you tell me
Don't make any bones about it
You just tell me
[Verse 5]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
