Lyrics

(Source: as heard)

I will walk in the garden,
Feel religion within.
I will learn to run with the big boys,
I will learn how to sink and to swim.
And there's talk in the houses,
And people dancing in rings.
Ah, will you close my eyes, babe?
I can see most everything,
I can see most everything.
It's just like u said it would b.
It's just like u said it would b.
It's just like u said it would b.
It's just like u said it would b.
I can see too many mouths open,
Too many eyes closed, ears closed,
Not enough minds open,
Too many legs open.
Tell me, tell me,
Tell me, tell me do
Why isn't it, why, why?
I don't see my eyes, why, why?
Ah, la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
La, la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
La, la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
La, la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
When I've walked in the garden,
When I'm walking off stage,
When everything's quiet
Will you stay?
Will you be my lover?
Will you be my mama?
I said, will you be my lover?
I said, ill you be my babe?
When I lay down my head
At the end of my day,
Nothing would,
Nothing would please me better
Than to find that you're there.
When I lay down my head
At the end of my day,
Nothing would,
Nothing would please me better
Than to find that you're there when I wake.
Just like u said it would b,
Just like u said it would b,
Just like u said it would b,
Just like u said it would b.
Will you be my lover?
Will you be my mama?
Just like u said it would b,
Just like u said it would b,
Just like u said it would b,
Just like u said it would b.
