let me tell you 'bout the book

that i've been reading

it's got all my favorite words

let me tell you 'bout who i saw scheming

ya better know it's not my girl



let me tell ya 'bout what i've been seeing

it's the window to the world

let me tell you 'bout the secret

i've been keeping

said the oyster to the pearl



are you sorry?

no not me

and tell me why should i be

cause i've been knocked right off of my feet

and no i didn't even miss a beat



i never thought a love could be like this

then she said my name

now i'm wrapped around her finger

i'll never be the same



so let me tell ya 'bout the joke

that you've been living

said the clown to the fool

let me tell you 'bout

the whell that keeps on spinning

said the teacher to the school



are you worried?

well could be, cause i'll tell you what i've seen

i've weathered storms that would sink most ships

yes i know when to button my lip



offer me a melody

pour a cup of wine

spill your deepest memory

and someday you'll be fine
