Lyrics:
Gonna tell you one time, pretty baby
Just so you c’ain’t say you ain’t been told
Coming through your room just like Boo Radley
Bustin’ up your chifforobe
You keep coming back to me in pretty little flashes
I’m just Phillip’s kerosene and
You are a box of Rosebud matches
You shouldn’t oughta look that way at me when I’m
I’m being as good as I know how to be
I’m already being as good as I know how to be
Gonna show you one time pretty baby
Just so you c’ain’t say you ain’t been showed
There’s two of us here in the morning air
But there’s just one shadow
Falling ‘cross your floor
Hey alright, hey alright, hey-ey-ey all wrong
Hey alright, hey alright, hey alright, hey alright, hey-ey-ey all wrong
You shouldn’t oughta look that way at me when I’m
I’m being as good as I know how to be
I’m already being as good as I know how to be
Gonna tell you one time, pretty baby
Just so you c’ain’t say you ain’t been told
Coming through your room just like Boo Radley
Bustin’ up your chifforobe
You keep coming back to me in pretty little flashes
I’m just Phillip’s kerosene and
You are a box of Rosebud matches
Hey alright, hey alright, hey-ey-ey all wrong
Hey alright, hey alright, hey alright, hey alright, hey-ey-ey all wrong
You shouldn’t oughta look that way at me when I’m
I’m being as good as I know how to be
I’m already being as good as I know how to be
