I had a phase Of doing silly things I did these crazy Willy-nilly things To be with you I'd put on paper wings Oh it was fine I was just half in love I called you mine With a half-laughing love Pups call it calf- Calves call it puppy-love Then it got bad One minute on my own And I'd go mad Tied to the telephone I couldn't be Breathe eat or sleep alone Dignity flew I didn't give a damn Whether they knew I'd come to live a sham- -bles of a life Simply to be with you I'd wait for you till any time In any room, tell any lies The morning found me many times Watching the light open your eyes And only you I waited on I doted on, I fauned upon For always till the day that I Opened my eyes and found you gone That was the day When I began to be In every way By anyone but me Harder to please Easily turned away So if I cry While I'm forgetting you Remember I'm Slowly forgetting too How light and high I flew on paper wings How light and high I flew on paper wings | |||||
