I wonder how many times you've been had |
|
And I wonder how many plans have gone bad |
|
I wonder how many times you had sex |
|
I wonder do you know who'll be next |
|
I wonder l wonder wonder I do |
|
I wonder about the love you can't find |
|
And I wonder about the loneliness that's mine |
|
I wonder how much going have you got |
|
And I wonder about your friends that are not |
|
I wonder I wonder I wonder I do |
|
I wonder about the tears in children's eyes |
|
And I wonder about the soldier that dies |
|
I wonder will this hatred ever end |
|
I wonder and worry my friend |
|
I wonder I wonder wonder don't you? |
|
I wonder how many times you been had |
|
And I wonder how many dreams have gone bad |
|
I wonder how many times you've had sex |
|
And I wonder do you care who'll be next |
|
I wonder I wonder wonder I do |
|
And you measure for wealth by the things you can hold |
|
And you measure for love by the sweet things you're told |
|
And you live in the past or a dream that you're in |
|
And your selfishness is your cardinal sin. |
|
And you want to be held with highest regard |
|
It delights you so much if he's trying so hard |
|
And you try to conceal your ordinary ways |
|
With a smile or a shrug or some stolen cliche. |
|
'Cos emotionally you're the same basic trip |
|
And you know that I know of the times that you've slipped |
|
So don't try to impress me, you're just pins and paint |
|
And don't try to charm me with things that you ain't. |
|
And don't try to enchant me with your manner of dress |
|
'Cos a monkey in silk is a monkey no less |
|
So measure for measure reflect on my said |
|
And when I won't see you then measure it dead. |
|
'Cos don't you understand, and don't you look about |
|
I'm trying to take nothing from you |
|
So why should you act so put out for me? |
