To tell the truth, darling

I'd have to lead a coup

Past the platitudes

Right past the dotted rules

I paid attention

I paid my dues

Now that I know a thing or two

I say thank you

Would you stare eyes open

If I ever came 'round with the golden gun?

Would you ever light up with somebody like me?

(Looked like my son. He look like a sun)

Would you stare eyes open

If I ever came 'round with the golden gun?

(On my back. Felt like it)

Would you ever lay down with somebody like me?

(On my back. Felt like it)

It really wasn't a fall

It was nothing at all

All that they came in proving

Well, they sure was zooming

I have to cast up

A big wet net through

Now that I ask after you

I've gotta pass through now

Would you stare eyes open

If I ever came 'round with the golden gun?

Would you ever light up with somebody–

Would you come right over with the crown royal if I said run, run, run

(To tell the truth, I'd have to lead a coup, past the platitudes)

Would you ever lay down with somebody like–

(Right past the dotted rules)

Stare eyes open if I ever came 'round with the golden gun?

(I paid attention. I paid my dues. I've gotta ask you)

Would you ever light up with somebody like me?

(Do you say thank you? I say thank you)

Looked like my son

He look like a sun (I say thank you, I say thank you)

On my back (I say thank you, I say thank you)

Felt like it (I say thank you, I say thank you)

Looked like my son (I say thank you, I say thank you)

He look like a sun (I say thank you, I say thank you)

On my back (I say thank you, I say thank you)

Felt like it (I say thank you, I say thank you)

On my back (I say thank you)

Felt like it (I say thank you, I say thank you)

On my back (I say thank you, I say thank you)

Felt like it
