You know I liked it but I never thought
You would leave your boyfriend for too very long
It was just enough to make protected love
In that room

But I could listen to Golden Moses
While you brush your sister's hair
And get her fed and clothed and out the door
When your ma's had it up to here
And she's had enough

When you find the thing that you love
When you find the thing that you love
When you find the thing that you love
Tie it up, tie it up
It'll last all night if you do

You know I liked it but I never claimed
I would leave my lily pad for so far away
It was just enough to dip my toes into
Your ocean

But I could listen to Golden Moses
While you drink your poppy tea, baby
I've had enough...

When you find the thing that you love
When you find the thing that you love
When you find the thing you love
Tie it up, tie it up
It'll last all night if you do

Gimme some time, mama, 'cause I need to know
How to get my mind off of her memory
While my hand's around your throat
Give me some time, mama
Don't grind your teeth or make me up and cop
That I believed in heaven
In those California sheets, when you said
"Baby, come over here
I wanna read your palm
And tell you all the lines where the things go wrong
This one, you're a bumbling bum
'Cause some bum got gone"
Oh, whatever, just take me home
Oh, would you please take me home?
I think I could love you
