I haven't left here yet, but I'm trying I'm still tied to the bed Can you come here? When you come, would you please bring a knife And cure me down 'Cause this is larger than life and I'm frightened A hundred things you should have done in bed But you never had the chance to try them At least the dog has a smile on its face I'm drained and I'm dry and I'm sore It's not that bad if she could be here all the time It would kill me I think I've been broken in tow and I can't scream
