You want to leave me, baby, be my guest
All I'm going to do is cry
And then I'm gonna find me someone else
And tear the stars out of the sky
Looking for something when there's nothing there to be found
Make it easy on yourself
Go out and find your body someone else
Or tear the stars out of the sky
Baby you're too well read
Baby you're too well spoken
Baby you're too pristine
When I cry, do you feel anything?
Baby you're too well read
You want to leave me, baby, be my guest
All I'm going to do is cry
And then I'm gonna find me someone else
And tear the stars out of the sky
Baby you're too well read
Baby you're too well spoken
Baby you're far too clean
When I cry, do you feel anything?
Baby you're too well read
You don't need me anymore
You don't need me anymore
They say storms are rife for summertime
Well baby, I'm long gone
What are you going toa do when you open your eyes
It's a brand new day and baby
No blue skies ?
You're standing out in the corridor
Of the worst hotel that you've ever dreamed
A frayed linoleum paradise
Where you walk on cash and you calloused heels and
Oh, to count the cost of no returning
No, when innocence is lost
You just keep turning wild
My wild orphan child
My orphan child
My orphan wild in the wilderness
And you look a little like Jodie Foster
12 years old but your eyes are 35
And that's no joking matter
You've got no body hair and nobody cares
But no, you know it all
I can't deny it
Cute, with razor blade in pocket
Well, I don't buy it
And so when I see you smile
It only makes me want to cry
My wild orphan child
My orphan wild in the world
I saw you, babe, at the Mirabelle
Feeding oysters from the half shell
Oh, but you're such a busy girl
You say
I know where the real money is found
Inside of a hopelesness and yearning
Yes, and cold is what to be
To touch the burning flame I see
When I first saw Shelly
I swear I almost cried
I felt as though we'd been together
For all of our lives
Shouldering my worst afflictions
And reminiscing times we never had
She said that she remembered me
From some strange dream she'd had
She cut me to the quick
And I just fell about and laughed
I said
When I hold you, Shelly
I just pray that you and me
Will never end
And I do, you know
l love you, you know
Shelly, I do
When I first saw you, Shelly
I swear I almost cried
I felt as though we'd been together
For all of our lives
And I do, you know
l love you, you know
Shelly, I do
When I hold you, Shelly
I just pray that you and me
Will never end
