Gardenia

Gardenia Where are you Black goddess in a shabby raincoat Where are you tonight Cheap purple baby doll dress A gardenia in your hair Much taller and stronger than me A forbidden dream, a dream, a dream All I wanna do is tell Gardenia What to do tonight All I wanna do is tell Gardenia What to do tonight Gardenia Where are you tonight The streets were your home Now where do you roam Your hourglass ass And your powerful back Your slant devil eyes And the ditch down your spine Deep as Deep as All I wanna do is tell Gardenia What to do tonight All I wanna do is tell Gardenia What to do tonight We lay in the darkness Then she turned the lights on I saw a dangerous habit When she turned the lights on There's always a catch In the darkness when you When you turn the lights on There's always a catch Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well All I wanna do is tell Gardenia What to do tonight All I wanna do is tell Gardenia What to do tonight Alone in the cheapo motel By the highway to hell America's greatest living poet Was ogling you all night You should be wearing the finest gown But here you are now Gas, food, lodging, poverty, misery and gardenia You could be burned at the stake For all your mistakes, mistakes, mistakes All I wanna do is tell Gardenia What to do tonight All I wanna do is tell Gardenia What to do tonight
