Lyrics

I Told Her


Verse One:
Little birdie tapped my shoulder (well I told her)
and he asked me ?Son, have you been goin? blind?!?
Simon says your turn is over (I told her)
Take a backseat while I call the next in line.

Chorus:
There are no secrets anymore, there?s the door.
So don?t let the porch-swing hit you on your sweet behind

Verse Two:
It?s not just me, you?re getting older (yeah I told her!)
But your shoe size always seems to fit the crime.

Chorus:
I?m tired of turning on a dime, marking time
till you figure out if growin? up is worth your precious time.

Verse Three:
If love is like a four-leaf clover (well I told her)
Then it?s time to change our luck and read the signs.
And if you think I?m getting bolder (yes I told her!)
It?s because my heart is hangin? on the line.

(Spoken Bridge):

Well I know I've heard the lines, your mother died, your cat too.
The ladies at the flower shop, they got a running pool.
You know I'm standing by just to play the ever-loving fool.
When you want to! When you want to!
It's always on your scheduled time.
Well I'm telling you baby I'm at the meter with my final dime!
...Don't take your time...

Verse Four:
Little birdie tapped my shoulder (well I told her!)
and he asked me ?Son, have you been goin? blind?!?
Simon says your turn is over (here?s a shoulder)
Take a backseat ?cause I?m leaving you behind.
