 It took a lost  weekend  in a Hotel  in Amsterdam
 And a double  pneumonia  in a single room
 And the sickest joke  was the price  of the medicine
 Are you laughing  at me now,
 May I please  laugh along with you

 This morning I woke, from a deep unquiet sleep
 With ashtray clothes and miss lonely heart's pen
 With which I wrote for you a love song in tattoo upon my palm
 'twas stolen from me when Jesus took my hand
 (w/Riff 1)
 You see,I....  I wouldn't  say it if I didn't  mean it
 drop me and  I'll fall to pie-ces  so easily
 Pre-Verse:
 x2 (w/ Riff 1 and Riff 2)
 I was a king bee, with a head full of attitude
 Wore my heart on my sleeve like a stain
 and my aim was taboo - you could remain in the market place
 did I ever hey please did you woo my knees
 (w/Riff 1)
 You see,I....  I wouldn't  say it if I didn't  mean it
 drop me and  I'll fall to pie-ces  yea too  easily
 there's nobody  esle to blame
 Will I hang  my head in a crying  shame
 There's nobody  else to blame
Nobody  else except my  sweet self a-gain
 (  x4) (First  on the gain from again)

 It took a lost weekend in a hotel in Amsterdam
 Twenty four gone years to conclude in tears
 That the sickest joke was the price of the medicine
 Are you laughing at me now
 May I please laugh along
 (w/Riff 1 and Riff 2)
 I was a king bee with a head full of attitude
 And astray heart on my sleeve wounded knees
 And my one love song was a tattoo upon my palm
 You wrote upon me when you took my hand
 Out Chorus:
 You see I
 I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it
 Drop me and I'll fall to pieces
 Too easily
 Too easily
 Too easily
 (  x4) (w/Riff 1 and Riff 2)
