I'm a Keeper

Blue-eyed Susans

Standin' in a domino line

Fallin' in and out of love all the time

They'll break your heart just to see a boy cry

Ah, but not me

I am a brown eyed loner

I march to my own drummer

I'm a piccolo owner and the labor of my mother's love

Honey, you'd be a load off her mind

But, with or without you

My only plan is to be free

With or without you, I'm still me

Ah, I'll join a band and sing like a canary

Get out of here and change my name to Cherry

And every night I'll thank Holy Mother Mary

I am a keeper. Oh, I am a keeper, baby. I am a keeper

Long stem roses

Standing in a vase by my bed

Standing tall like the dreams in my head

I'm not gonna live in this house till I'm dead

I like you a lot, 'cause you're different a little

You got answers to my riddles

Your daddy is a pistol

And you are a sun of a gun (Son of a gun)

I could be the daughter that he never wanted (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

No, with or without you

I'll buy a farm at the edge of the prairie

Live off the land and change my name to Cherry

And every night I'll thank Holy Mother Mary

I am a Keeper. Oh, I am a Keeper, baby. I am a Keeper

Woo, hoo

Hoo, hoo

With or without you

My only plan is to be free

With or without you, baby

I'll buy a sword and join the military

Cut my hair and change my name to Cherry

And every night I'll thank Holy Mother Mary

I am a keeper. Oh, I am a keeper, baby. I am a keeper

Oh, I'm a Keeper, baby

Oh woo, hoo, uh, hoo, hoo

I'm not one of those blue-eyed Susans

Uh woo, hoo

Ha-ah, I'm doin' my own thing, woo

(I am a keeper), I am a keeper, baby

Listen

(I am a keeper), I am a keeper, baby

Oh

(I am a keeper), I am a keeper, (baby)
