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´d 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´s botherin´ you There´s a Southern Pacific leaving at 9:45 I´m havin´ a hard time, believin´ some people would ever arrive
I´m stark naked but I don´t care I´m goin´ off into the woods I´m hunt´n´ bare 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
