(Benson/Falkner) 
Like a folk singer's song, 
I'm moving on 
And I'm not the kind of man that acts very strong 
When the girls are looking on 
When the girls are looking on (When the girls are looking on) 
If you tied my hands and put chains on my feet 
I can picture myself walking down any street 
Telling people that 
I meet, "Psst, looks like rain to me" (Looks like rain to me) 
And every single day at eleven 
I'm home in bed in sleep heaven 
Alone 'cause my girl leaves at seven 
Ain't got time for my bed-in 
She says "Stop pretendin' You're not John Lennon" 
Will I ever get over this 
Having tasted your lips with a kiss? 
You can cross me off your list 
Take these cuffs from off my wrist 
And drop your fist 
As soon as 
I'm well I'm gonna leave my house 
Become more of a man and less like a mouse 
Drive my car down south to the 
Mississippi's mouth 
In the Gulf of 
Mexico I'll be soused 
Every girl 
I made in the shade of 
Esplanade 
I've saved in a song that 
I play when 
I'm afraid of a full-scale air raid 
From the choices that 
I've made 
And every single day at eleven 
I'm home in bed in sleep heaven 
Alone 'cause my girl leaves at seven 
Ain't got time for my bed-in 
She says "Stop pretendin' You're not John Lennon" 
Will I ever get over this 
Having tasted your lips with a kiss? 
You would cross me off your list 
Take these cuffs from off my wrist 
And drop your fist. 
Drop your fist. 
No matter how much you take of each song that 
I make I'm not fragile, 
I don't break and 
I'm down at the lake 
And I hope some day you'll have it made with all that money that you make 
It was fun while it lasted and then it was blasted 
Right out of the water and into fantastic 
Now he feels shafted and she's already past it 
She's like elastic and he just seems spastic 
Every single day at eleven 
I'm home in bed in sleep heaven 
Alone 'cause my girl leaves at seven 
Ain't got time for my bed-in 
She says "Stop pretendin' You're not John Lennon" 
Will I ever get over this 
Having tasted your lips with a kiss? 
You can cross me off your list 
Take these cuffs from off my wrist 
If I ever get over this 
You can cross me off your list 
Take these cuffs from off my wrist 
And drop your fist.
