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,
Then, 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.
Because 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.
Repeat chorus
Same chords as in verse:
Repeat chorus
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.
