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

ah but not me

I am a brown eyed loner, I march to my own drummer

I'm a piccolo owner and the labor of my mother's love

Honey you'd be a load off her mind But with or without you

My only plan is to be free

With or without you

I'm still me

Ah I'll join a band and sing like a canary

Get out of here and change my name to Cherry

And every night I'll thank holy Mother Mary

I am a keeper

Oh, I am a keeper baby

I am a keeper Long stem roses, standing in a vase by my bed

Standing tall like the dreams in my head

I'm not gonna live in this house 'til I'm dead

I like you a lot 'cause you're different a little

You got answers to my riddles

Your daddy is 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 thank holy Mother Mary

I am a keeper ah, I am a keeper baby

I am a keeper With or without you, my only plan is to be free

With or without you

Bye babe I'll buy a sword and join the military

Cut my hair and change my name to Cherry

And every night I'll thank holy Mother Mary

I am a keeper ah, I am a keeper baby

I am a keeper, oh, I am a keeper baby I'm not one of those blue eyed Susans

Ha ah, I'm doing my own thing I am a keeper

I am a keeper baby

I am a keeper

I am a keeper baby

I am a keeper

I am a keeper baby
