bob pendarvis: song lyrics

fourth song in the little mini opera. this song is another hybrid (it used to be three separate songs). i really like playing and singing this song, goofy though it is. the guy in this song is just setting himself up for a fall...which happens in the next song of the mini opera.

you're giving me that look again
that makes me want to run and hide
you're giving me that look again
why can't you ever see my side?

i love you, honey
you know i do
you mean the world to me
but tell me, baby
and tell me true
why can't you let me be?

sit down, honey
it's time we had this out
don't make me mad
and i'll try not to shout
for way too long
you've told me what to do
but as of now
my marching days
are through

well, listen to me dear
i've had it up to here
of all the many girls
that i once knew
i can't believe i ended up
with you

i'm heading out tonight
to paint the town
i'm gonna play the fool
and act the clown
when roosters crow
"good morning" to the sun
then, and only then
will i be done

well, listen to me, dear
i've had it up to here
of all the many girls
that i once knew
i can't believe i ended up
with you
