Lyrics

[00:13.80] Standing on your window, honey,
[00:16.74] Yes, Ive been here before.
[00:19.80]
[00:25.49] Feeling so harmless,
[00:27.98] Im looking at your second door.
[00:29.80]
[00:37.24] How come you dont send me no regards?
[00:42.67]
[00:48.42] You know I want your lovin,
[00:51.36]
[00:54.61] Honey, why are you so hard?
[00:57.11]
[01:03.80] Kneeling neath your ceiling,
[01:06.36] Yes, I guess Ill be here for a while.
[01:11.17]
[01:15.74] Im tryin to read your portrait, but,
[01:18.11] Im helpless, like a rich mans child.
[01:21.93]
[01:27.67] How come you send someone out to have me barred?
[01:34.61]
[01:38.68] You know I want your lovin,
[01:43.99]
[01:45.12] Honey, why are you so hard?
[01:47.87]
[01:53.43] Like a poor fool in his prime,
[01:57.30]
[01:58.36] Yes, I know you can hear me walk,
[02:00.49]
[02:04.87] But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime,
[02:09.55]
[02:12.87] Or is it just solid rock?
[02:15.43]
[02:19.93] Well, I rush into your hallway,
[02:22.18]
[02:23.30] Lean against your velvet door.
[02:24.99]
[02:31.93] I watch upon your scorpion
[02:34.49] Who crawls across your circus floor.
[02:36.28]
[02:44.34] Just what do you think you have to guard?
[02:48.47]
[02:55.28] You know I want your lovin, honey, but youre so hard.
[03:04.72]
[03:37.40] Achilles is in your alleyway,
[03:39.34]
[03:40.84] He dont want me here,
[03:42.40]
[03:43.53] He does brag.
[03:44.72]
[03:49.47] Hes pointing to the sky
[03:50.91]
[03:51.72] And hes hungry, like a man in drag.
[03:54.91]
[04:01.78] How come you get someone like him to be your guard?
[04:06.10]
[04:12.65] You know I want your lovin,
[04:15.78]
[04:19.60] Honey. but youre so hard.
