Well, let me tell you something, let me tell you so
This could be the one thing that you really need to know
You gotta stop once in a while and shake off that face of yours
Cos nothing comes easy or it just comes free
You could sing it better if you sang it for me, your sister
Well, I cannot claim this advice, it's my own
I learned it in the gutter one night crawling home
She said, don't you look ridiculous, I checked her out meticulously
I don't wanna stop to argue but my teeth were broke
I said, I'd love to contradict you but my life's a joke, oh sister
She said, I'm no genius, I've lost myself
The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
And it's a one time, keep it slow, wind them up and here we go
Can't arrive today and you may still be here tomorrow
Some say she was saintly, to some she was a swinger
Me, I only knew her eyes and I said just sing her, come on
Well, I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she
And maybe this is just the way it has to be
It's all based on speculation, seems a crazy occupation to me
And though I didn't much believe her, I was bound to call
I really didn't wanna miss a single thing, oh, oh, oh, sister
She said, I'm no genius, I've lost myself
The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
And it's a one time, keep it slow, wind them up and here we go
Can't arrive today and you may still be here tomorrow
Some say she was saintly, to some she was a swinger
Me, I only knew her eyes and I said just sing her, come on
She said, I'm no genius, I've lost myself
The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
And it's a one time, keep it slow, wind them up and here we go
Can't arrive today and you may still be here tomorrow
Some say she was saintly, to some she was a swinger
Me, I only knew her eyes and I said just sing her
I haven't seen her lately, might I have to ring her
Put your hands together for me, I said just sing her, come on
Come on, come on, come on
La, la, la, la, oh
Come on, come on, come on
La, la, la, la, oh
