Well, I´m stranded in the city that never sleeps
Some of these women they just give me the creeps
I´m avoidin´ the south side the best I can
These memories I got they can strangle a man
Well, I came ashore in the dead of the night
Lot of things can get in the way when you´re tryin´ to do what´s right
You don´t understand it, my feelin´ for you
You´d be honest with me if you only knew
I´m not sorry for nothing I´ve done
I´m glad I fought, I only wish we won
The Siamese twins are comin´ to town
People can´t wait, they´ve gathered around
When I left my home the sky split open wide
I never wanted to go back there, I´d rather have died
You don´t understand it, my feelin´ for you
You´d be honest with me if only you knew
My woman got a face like a teddy bear
She´s tossin´ a baseball bat in the air
The meat is so tough you can´t cut it with a sword
I´m crashin´ my car trunk first into the board
They say that my eyes are pretty and my smile is nice
Well, I´d sell it to ya at a reduced price
You don´t understand it, my feeling for you
You´d be honest with me if only you knew
Some things are too terrible to be true,
I won´t come here no more if it bothers you.
There´s a Southern Pacific leaving at 9:45
I´m havin´ a hard time, believing some people we´re ever alive
I´m stark naked but I don´t care
I´m goin´ off into the woods I´m hunt´n´ bear
You don´t understand it, my feeling for you
Well, you´d be honest with me if only you knew
I´m here to create the new imperial empire
I´m gonna do whatever circumstances require
I care so much for you, didn´t think I could
I can´t tell my heart that you´re no good
Well, my parents, they warned me not to risk my years
And I still got their advice oozing out of my ears
You don´t understand it, my feeling for you
Well, you´d be honest with me if only you knew
