and when I held you I felt so fine, it was like there was nothing left on my mind



Oh, when you call me weird names and make all kinds of weird faces
when you drive me along to all the stupidest places
you know it's not fair, but you know what you do
you know how bad I like to be with you

...And then you're like, "David, it's like one, two, three"
as you're climbing barefoot on the apple tree
it is as sweet as me, and as good as new
and you know how bad I like to be with you

It's like the better path, and it's a better way
if we never part, and if we never stray
if we know we have each other to hang on to
and if you know how bad I like to be with you

Well you should try to go to some place, honey,
where the weather is hot, and the music is funny
you should try down south, by the magic Bayou
you will know how bad I like to be with you

Well you know better than me on all kinds of topics
like what fruit is native and what fruit is exotic,
you know the right names for flowers and for animals, too
I hope you know how bad I like to be with you

do do do, do, do, do do do, do
do, do, do do do, do
do, do do do do do

Well, you play the trumpet and I play drums
and you smoke cigarettes and I chew gum,
you say we're different and I believe it's true
and you know how bad I like to be with you

It's not even an option,
it's not a matter of choice
I could say it with words
and I could say it with my voice
I could sing it in a song or play it on a kazoo
and you would know how bad I like to be with you

You say you dye your hair black since you were seventeen
and you say it goes well with your eyes so green
well, I'm losing my hair and my eyes are blue,
and you know how bad I like to be with you

And if you think you're puzzled,
and if you don't understand me
well you can play me as easy as a DVD,
it's like solving a case with a single clue
to know how bad I like to be with you

You know I'll always like you no matter what
and if you get a little chubby,
and if you're a little too fat
if you worship Jesus when I am a Jew
then you will know how bad I like to be with you

...And you know how people shorten other people's names
to show their affection
like if you called me Ray, if my name was Raymond
well your name ain't Susan but I would call you Sue
to show you how bad I like to be with you

do do do, do, do, do do do, do
do, do, do do do, do
do, do, do do do, do
do, do do do

I had to leave you and go away
but I think about you every day
in the morning and in the afternoon
I wish that I could see you soon

and when I held you I felt so fine
it was like there was
nothing left on my mind
it was like Rockaway Beach in the month of June, you know
I wish that I could see you soon

I have no plans to meet you babe,
I had a million things to do babe,
But it hit my heart with a harpoon,
I wish that I could see you soon
-- The angels go
How long 'til you can see her?
And I'm like, well
- the sooner the better
do you really think she'll wait for you?
And I'm like,
there's no way to say and there's nothing I can do
Well, there's no way to say and there's nothing I can do

Now that I'm across the sea I wonder if
you're gonna wait for me
or if you're gonna find
a new boy to spoon
I wish that I could see you soon

And if you
wait a little my pretty friend
until I come back to hold your hand
would be like birds when they break through the cocoon
And you know, well
I wish that I could see you soon

It has been a while
since I felt like this
and now I've found someone I really miss, you know
under the sun
and under the moon
Well, I wish that I could see you soon
-- And the angels go!
How long 'til you can see her
And I'm like - the sooner the better
do you really think she's gonna wait for you?
And I'm like,
Well, there's no way to say and there's nothing I can do
Oh, there's no way to say and there's nothing I can do
Oh, there's no way to say and there's nothing I can do
Oh, there's no way to say and there's nothing I can do
