lyrics

You brighten me up babe,
You settle me down tonight
You brighten me up babe,
To tell me that it’s alright

A waging widow once said to me,
You shoulda stuck at the infirmary,
When you were ready they’d of set you free,
And they made a bed for you to sleep
But then I stopped,
Cause she don’t know
Where I wanna be

Chorus

When I told you,
Of my crimes
My eyes could hold you
And yours would shy away from mine

Chorus

A Reagan ditto once bled to me
They shoulda killed you for your felony
You shoulda seen me when I was a teen,
A dream and a Princeton degree,
But then I stopped
Cause he don’t know
Who I wanna be

Chorus
