I can be right that you're not here
It's double sided 'cause I ruined it all
But also saved myself
By never believing you dear
Everything good I deem too good to be true
Everything else is just a bore
Everything I have to look forward to
Has a pretty painful and very imposing before
Oh sailor why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
Then lettin' it go by the boards
Oh sailor why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
Then lettin' it go by the boards
I have too been playing with fifty-two cards
Just 'cause I play so far from my vest
Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard
What could I do but spend my best
Oh sailor why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
Then lettin' it go by the boards
Oh sailor why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
Then lettin' it go by the boards
And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees
All the other stuff tired itself out first, not me
And in it's wake appeared the touch and call of a different breed
One of the steps is getting wise and got me there and then got me
And what a thing to know what could be instead
Oh what a blessed curse to see
Took the agenda from it's place in my bed
Made a merry paramour of me
Oh sailor why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
Then lettin' it go by the boards
Oh sailor why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Given the eyes to view it
As it goes by the boards
Oh sailor why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
Then lettin' it go by the boards
Oh sailor why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
Then lettin' it go by the boards
Oh sailor why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Given the eyes to view it
As it goes by the boards
Oh sailor why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Given the eyes to view it
As it goes by the boards
I'm undecided about you again I can be right that you're not here It's double sided 'cause I ruined it all But also saved myself By never believing you dear Everything good I deem too good to be true Everything else is just a bore Everything I have to look forward to Has a pretty painful and very imposing before Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards I have too been playing with fifty-two cards Just 'cause I play so far from my vest Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard What could I do but spend my best Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees All the other stuff tired itself out first, not me And in it's wake appeared the touch and call of a different breed One of the steps is getting wise and got me there and then got me And what a thing to know what could be instead Oh what a blessed curse to see Took the agenda from it's place in my bed Made a merry paramour of me Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Given the eyes to view it As it goes by the boards Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Given the eyes to view it As it goes by the boards Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Given the eyes to view it As it goes by the boards Explain Request ×
