why do you let me stay here
all by myself
why don't you come and play here
i'm just sitting on the shelf
why don't you sit right down and stay while
we like the same things and i like your style
it's not a secret, why do you keep it?
i'm just sitting on the shelf
i gotta get your presence
let's make it known
i think you're just pleasant
i would like you for my own
why don't you sit right down and make me smile
you make me feel like i'm just like a child
why do you get it? just give me credit
i'm just sitting on the shelf
