Kissing like a bandit Stealing time Underneath a sycamore tree Cupid by the hour sends Valentines To my sweet lover and me Slowly But surely Your appetite is more than I knew Sweetly Softly I'm falling in love with you Wish me love a wishing well To kiss and tell A wishing well of butterfly tears Wish me love a wishing well To kiss and tell A wishing well of crocodile tears Hugging like a monkey see Monkey do Right beside a riverboat gambler Erotic images float through my head So I wanna be Your midnight rambler Quickly Quickly The blood races through my veins Quickly Loudly I wanna hear those sugar bells ring Wish me love a wishing well To kiss and tell A wishing well of butterfly tears Wish me love a wishing well To kiss and tell A wishing well of crocodile tears

Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time Look like nothing's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same Sittin here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home Now, I'm just...
