One, two
One, two, three, four
I wrote some lyrics to a beautiful girl
But she spat them out on her plate
I scraped them up and I rearranged them
I served them again, but they were refused
Then I thought I'd go back to town
Some girl waved to me from her limousine
I waved back, it was love at first wave
Then I waited where so many had drowned before me
A cat was lurking in the shadow
Wanting to be pettеd, but I couldn't be bothered
Thеn I was alone for I don't know how long
How long, I ask, will this go on?
Then I wrote a check to my mother
I wrote it to her to pay back the loan
Then I rode bareback into town
I got a check in the mail and got caught in a storm
Mmm-mmm-mmm...
