  • Come here, my love
    I'll tell you a secret
    Come closer, now
    I want you to believe it

    I'll tell you all the things
    You want to hear
    Don't worry, baby
    There's nothing to fear

    Hey, little girl
    Would you like some candy

    Look into my eyes
    I've seen it all
    Hand in hand
    Together we fall

    We'll sing and dance
    And we'll find romance
    And we'll stroll to the edge of the world

    Come sit right down
    Lay your head on my shoulder
    It's not the point
    That I'm forty years older

    You can trust me
    I'm no criminal
    But I'd kill my mother
    To be with you, be with you, be with you, be with you

    We'll sing and dance
    And we'll find romance
    And we'll stroll to the edge of the world

    Give me a smile
    Let me see those pearlies
    I'll do anything
    For the little girlies Writer/s: Bill Gould, James Blanco Martin, Michael Allen Patton, Michael Andrew Bordin, Roddy Christopher Bottum

  • Nunya Beezness from OklahomaThis is the theme song of the GOP
  • Raven from Somewhere@Luke - The way you wrote about the song is kind of the way a little kid would be caught too. Getting sucked in without knowing what it's all about.
  • The Birds from NyDoes anyone have any interview info or otherwise, could he have also been talking about all the sick F___ rockstars like Axl and Steven Tyler?
  • Luke from Manchester, Uk"Anonymous", Biden's song would be "you lost, deal with it".
    Anyone else notice how the gutless Republicans always go unnamed?
  • AnonymousJoe Biden’s song
  • Isabel from MinnesotaI like to imagine that this is about Anthony Kiedis, though it isn’t I just think it’s funny to imagine
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjDoes anyone know where I could find the "We Care A Lot" album at a reasonable price? (I'll probably have to get the cassette or vinyl or download it).
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjWho plays the sax in the outro?
  • Luke from Manchester, EnglandThis song, as dodgy as the lyrics are, is one of the finest songs on the planet... It sucks you in without you knowing what it's about and Patton sings with such conviction too...
  • Valerie from Brooklyn , Nyomg i heart this so song!
