Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I've been known a thousand ways Choked a hundred hearts in half as many days Oh no, I think so And I get so lost inside this city You ugly girls all look so pretty, it's true What am I supposed to do? I still got you away Look out your window What do you see? You don't see me You're a pretty little flower I'm a busy little bee Honey, that's all you need to see I can take you for an hour But then I'm gonna leave Honey I know you'll wait for me You're all alone but you understand That we're too young to start making plans of green Monogamy's not a part of me And I know my line and is just a sin When I swear to you I'm gonna do it again I'm not making any friends I just wanted you to wait There out your window What do you see? You don't see me Cause you're a pretty little flower But I'm a busy little bee Honey, that's all you need to see I can take you for an hour Baby then I'm gonna leave Honey I know you'll wait for me Pulled out your picture the other day (Isn't that sweet?) You didn't have that much to say (Cause you wouldn't even leave) 'Cause I know that you said I'm better of on my own and I'm better off dead I just want you there to wait Look out your window What do you see? You don't see me Come on, come on, come on Dirty little flower I'm a busy little bee Honey that's all you need to see I can take you for an hour Maybe two or maybe three Honey, I know you'll wait for me Honey, that's all it has to be
