Lyrics

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
