You and I together With nothing showing at all In a darkened cinema I'll give you pleasure in the stalls Wanna give you tenderness And my affection too If it's through clenched teeth That's what you driven me to Want us to be lovers Want us to be friends Want it like it's the living end Keep me away from her Keep me away from her Keep me away from her ♪ With your kittens On the patchwork quilt Oh no, what am I doing here In the house Jack Kerouac built? There's white magic And bad rock and roll Your friend there says He's the gatekeeper to my soul The velvet curtains The Chinese bell With friends like these you're damned as well Keep me away from her Keep me away from her Keep me away from her Shake off your despondency And your country girl act You're reading me poetry That's Irish and so black I know you're warm The warmest person alive But are you warm Deep down inside? Want us to be lovers Want us to be friends I want it like the world crumbles and then it ends Keep me away from her Keep me away from her Keep me away from her ♪ Baby, you're You're on the road with a bad crowd And baby, I'm lonely You're on the road with a bad crowd
