Ho-Down

That's what I want That's what I need That's what I want Ho down She sprays her lies around her like the clouds release the rain An endless stream of promises that vaporize again Remember last Tuesday when you said it was the end You caught her in your Nissan getting funky with your best friend She will never change till her flesh is under dirt But then at least she's hangin' with neighbors she deserves Forgive me if I seem to sound a little on the loose But I cannot pour sugar just to sweeten up the truth I would like to wish for her a long forgotten dream Happened early morning when I was two or three Everyone around who didn't quite fit in the mix Turned and waved goodbye and disappeared without a hitch Except my friend Billy who lived just across the way The world belonged to us forever on from that day Until we ran into that sneaky girl from down the street Who tried to smile so pretty stealing Billy right from me [Chorus] The world spun around her everywhere that she would go But even my friend Billy knew that she was just a -- oh no She had such a way to twist and turn a simple truth Told my friend Billy I had been a little loose Then Billy took her arm and left me standing all alone I just had to wait there watching them do-se-do Till Billy pushed her in the deepest darkest hole around It was goodbye sneaky girl -- ho down I would like to wish for her a place to somewhere far A place in outer space to some exotic little star A million miles away would probably suit the planet fine Someplace where it's clear she is gone and you are mine Or maybe some romantic little island in the sea As far away as it is possible to be She can have the flowers and the wind And I can have my baby back with me once again [Chorus] I would like to wish for her another little story My daddy said to me when I was just a little girly He told me 'bout a pretty graceful lovely lady bird Who never could find a nest good enough for her From every tree she landed in she saw one that was better So off she went before she ever could regain her breath Wasn't it a pity when she finally hit the ground It was goodbye lovely birdy -- ho down Goodbye lovely birdy ho down --
