How Could You Want Him (When You Know You Can Have Me?)

I'm quite contented to take my chances

Against the Guildensterns and Rosenkrantzes

It's a matter of Cain and Abel

And I can feel your knee underneath the table

He doesn't dangle by the Seraphim

He only wants a pretty face by him, so

How could you want him

When you know you could have me?

See the pigeons peck and peck to pay the dues

But they peck a little extra to resole their shoes

He's with the pigeons, pecking crumbs

I'm on my deathbed bleeding with the Cherubims

He doesn't dangle by the Seraphim

He only wants a pretty face by him, so

How could you want him

When you know you could have me?

Ferocious angels send me falling stars

But I know just how dangerous wishes are

Ferocious angels watch me come and go

But I'm not too smart to go barging off of roof tops though

Sit out September on a window sill

'Cause you can't drink wine from a two dollar bill

Saint Christopher lives on the end of a quill

Leave him a diamond in your last will

He doesn't dangle by the Seraphim

He only wants a pretty face by him, so

How could you want him

When you know you could have me?

How could you want him

When you know you could have me?

How could you want him

When you know you could have me?

How could you want him

When you know you could have me?

How could you want him

When you know you could have me?

You could have me

Yeah, you could have me

Oh, you could have me

Could have me
