Can I Stay With You

There you go

Now you know

The only thing I’ll ever say

Is “honey, can I stay with you?”

  

Cut my hair

Grew it long

Played my song and watched the sun

Honey can I stay with you

 

Oh loving you is easy

Watching you is nice but everything I seem to do is wrong

And everything I seem to do is wrong

I feel I’m getting older

Younger every day

 And everything I seem to do is wrong

 

Cigarettes

Magazines

Perforated chinese dreams

Chicken can I stay with you

Sell the car

Sell yourself

Touch your toes and count to twelve

But listen

Can I stay with you

 

Oh loving you is easy

Watching you is nice but everything I seem to do is wrong

And everything I seem to do is wrong

I feel I’m getting older

Younger every day

 And everything I seem to do is wrong

 

I recall a summer night

Making love by river light

Honey can I stay with you

Maybe not

Maybe now

Doesn’t matter anyhow

But honey

Can I stay with you

 

Oh loving you is easy

Watching you is nice but everything I seem to do is wrong

I feel I’m getting older

Younger every day

And everything I seem to do is wrong
