You've been cryin' Your face is a mess Come in baby You can dry the tears on my dress She's hurt you again I can tell Oh, I know that look so well Don't be shy You've been here before Pull your shoes off, lie down And I will lock the door And no-one has to know You've come here again Darling it will be Like it's always been before Come on over here Breakfast in bed And a kiss or three You don't have to say you love me Breakfast in bed Nothing need be said Ain't no need What's your hurry? Please don't eat and run You can let her wait, my darling It's been so long Since I've had you here You will come again Darling it will be Like it's always been before Hey child Breakfast in bed And a kiss or three You don't have to say you love me Breakfast in bed Nothing need be said Breakfast in bed And a kiss or three You don't have to say you love me Breakfast in bed Nothing need be said, yeah
