Lydia keeps my toothbrush
In her apartment
And she never complains,
Well, hardly ever.
And then jokingly she says,
"Boy it's been so long since I've held you,
I nearly gave you up for dead, I nearly gave you up for dead, I nearly gave you up for dead"
Lydia Lydia how come you understand
I can offer you nothing at all?
This is more than I had planned.
Lydia Lydia I am at your command,
At least until morning comes,
Then I must be off again,
I must be off again.
Lydia you know I always talk about
Conscious decisions,
About running my own life,
But maybe I'm fooling myself.
It's a role I like to play.
Cause more often than not
I'm down here on the corner,
I'm sorry I woke ya,
Do you feel like some company?
Babe I need a place to stay.
Lydia Lydia how come you understand
I can offer you nothing at all?
No this is more than I had planned.
Lydia Lydia I am at your command,
At least until morning comes,
Then I must be off again,
I must be off again.
Lydia Lydia how come you understand
I can offer you nothing at all?
No this is more than I had planned.
Lydia Lydia I am at your command,
At least until morning comes,
Then I must be off again,
I must be off again.
I sleep with a woman
Who thinks I'm a child,
Well maybe I am,
No that wouldn't surprise anyone
I suspect that much is true.
But Lydia if you only knew
Just how much I loved you,
Did you know that I love you?
To the best that I can do...
Lydia Lydia how come you understand
I can offer you nothing at all?
No this is more than I had planned.
Lydia Lydia I am at your command,
At least until morning comes,
Then I must be off again,
I must be off again.
