Let's talk about rain here, you and me
Bottom of the half-blue-painted world to a big wide bed on a one-way empty street
And she wrote you months ago and she kissed away the lonely when you left
Let's talk of Manhattan, New York State
Smoking up a storm in Caledonia, playing in a bar somewhere and anyways
I can see you, just one drink and you've drank away the mask to hide your love
And don't you waste that pretty mind
Like a lioness passes you by, I'm gone - one kiss is all I'm good for
Love me to leave me, shut me like your front door
Cigarettes and cowboy blues, like a Lioness, you
Play me like a drum, wake me when the heat of the morning comes - No
Let's talk about - No!
See what you said? We were overdue - didn't know how to handle you
You paint me with the brush of your words
Play me or play for me, which one's first?
Oh, and now I have the sense to let you go
You really got to me with your lionhearted charm
Just like my lover never used to be, so worried sick to my alarm
And his humble home, oh I should have known
That you would waste that pretty mind
Like a lioness passes you by, I'm gone - one kiss is all I'm good for
Love me to leave me, shut me like your front door
Cigarettes and cowboy blues, like a Lioness, you
Play me like a drum, wake me when the heat of the morning comes - No
You really got to me with your lionhearted charm
Just like my lover never used to be, so worried sick to my alarm
And like that lonely little lazy lover, I, I try to try to pull myself together, the
The storm's coming down in rainy weather
Just love me to leave me, play for me to play me
Cigarettes and cowboy blues, like a lioness you
Play me like a drum, wake me when the heat of the morning comes - No
