and i know

lullabies – final

why don’t you come here little darlin’,
i’ve got somethin’ to say to you.
it’s just three words little darlin’,
it’ll take just a second to two.

and i know i’m not your darlin’
i know i’m not your baby
i know i’m not your sweetheart
i’m just livin’ on these maybes.

why don’t you come here little baby,
i’ve got somethin’ to sing to you.
it’s just three chords and a malady,
i promise i’ll sing out of tune.

and i know i’m not your baby
i know i’m not your darlin’
i know i’m not your sweetheart
i’m just lookin’ for those maybes.

now i know i’m goin’ round,
trying to fit you with this crown.
i was as late as a deity,
i’m just bettin’ that’s alright baby.

and i know that you’re hard hearted,
i know that you’re soft spoken,
i know that you’re just spinnin’ lies,
just waitin’ for your maybe.

why don’t you come here little sweetheart,
i’ve got somethin’ i wrote for you.
it’s all laid out there on parchment,
i hope the rhymes aren’t overused.

and i know i’m not your sweetheart
i know i’m not your darlin’
i know i’m not your baby
just lookin’ on our maybes.
