Blue-eyed Susans standing in a domino line
Falling in and out of love all the time
They'll break your heart just to see a boy cry
But not me
I am a brown-eyed loner
I march to my own drummer
I'm a piccolo owner
In the labor of my mother's love
Honey, you'd be a load off your mind
But with or without you
My only plan is to be free
With or without you
I'm still me
I'll join a band and sing like a canary
Get out of here and change my name
To change
And every night I'll sing
Holy Mother Mary
I am a keeper
Oh, I am a keeper, baby
I am a keeper
Long-stemmed roses
Standing in a vase by my bed
Standing tall like the dreams in my head
I'm not gonna live in this house
Till I'm dead
I like you a lot
Cause you're different
Living in a house
So you got interest in my riddles
Your daddy has a pistol
And you are a son of a gun
I could be the daughter that he never wanted
But with or without you
I'll buy a farm at the edge of the prairie
Live off the land and change my name to cherry
And every night I'll sing
Holy Mother Mary
I am a keeper
I am a keeper
Baby, I am a keeper
With or without you
My only plan is to be free
With or without you
By me
I'll buy a sword and join the military
I got my hair in chains
My name's a cherry
And every night I'll sing
Holy Mother Mary
I am a keeper
I am a keeper, baby
I am a keeper
I am a keeper, baby
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, hoo-hoo
I'm not one of those blue-eyed suits
But I'm a keeper, baby

You and my own thing.
Woo!
I am a keeper.
Listen.
I am a keeper, baby.
I am a keeper.
I am a keeper, baby.
I am a keeper.
I am a keeper.
I am a keeper.
