Discography
VERSE 1 SHE: I was born And held out my hands for you, Yelled my young demands for you, All forlorn, Even in my toothless state, Fate was in a ruthless state; Long years through I've been needing you, REFRAIN You're what I need, I mean, my need Starts and ends with you, Won't you give in, I mean, live in my home? You're my menu, I mean, when you Smile my hunger's through. Like a bluebird, I mean, you, bird, fly home. We will find a sky pilot, Some nice old boy. When he makes you my pilot, Lead me to joy! . You've undone me, I mean, won me, For you've got me treed, I love you so, I mean that you're what I need! VERSE 2 HE: Well, not bad! But to speak with verity, You need some sincerity. So, I add, When the song again you sing, Think of someone when you sing; I should say, Sing it in this way! REPEAT REFRAINSheet music:
