I once had a girl or should I say she once had me. She showed me her room,
Isn?t it good? Norwegian wood. She asked me to stay and told me sit anywhere.
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn?t a chair. I sat on a rug biding my time:

“Michelle, my belle?
I want to hold your hand.
I want to be your lover, baby.”

“Can?t buy me love, love.”

“There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No I never saw them at all
‘Til there was you.”

“Tell me why you cried,
And why you lied to me?”

“Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep talking till I can?t go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
We can work it out.”

“Look at him working, darning his socks
in the night when there?s nobody there,
What does he care?”

“Christ! You know it ain?t easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going,
They?re going to crucify me.”

“You should hear what they say about you, ‘cheat,’ ‘cheat.’
They say, they say you never never never ever heard of being true.
It doesn’t matter what they say,
I know I’m gonna love you any old way.
What can I do, and it’s true.
Don’t want nobody, nobody, ’cause baby, it’s you.
Baby, it’s you.”

“Remember I?ll always be true,
And then while I?m away,
I?ll write home every day,
And I?ll send all my loving to you.”

“Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I?m sixty-four?”

“You know I will.
I will.”
