My darling Roger, I'd give my life away My darling Roger, I'd give my life away My darling Roger, I'd give my life away My darling Roger, I'd give my life away Don't know what to do with all these feelings in my heart I'm sick with fear about the world's decay and my complexion Can't shake this burden made of flesh and blood and bone My mind and body aren't on speaking Terms, I've got to make a connection But it's not so bad You know it's not so bad at all How can a world with cats like you be otherwise? We can lie in bed all day We can stretch out in the sun And there are many who I'll call my darling But Roger, Roger you're the only one When the day is through you press your forehead close to mine So much to do, it's true, too true, for you I would soon make time And in my darkest hour your black coat brings me peace It's a little sappy but this coyness, Roger, were no crime And it's not so bad You know it's not so bad at all How can a world with cats like you be otherwise? We can lie in bed all day We can stretch out in the sun And there are many who I'll call my darling But Roger, Roger you're the only one My darling Roger, I'd give my life away My darling Roger, I'd give my life away Don't know what to do with all these feelings in my heart It takes a true friend to put it all back into perspective Can't justify this joy that dominates my life My aim is false sometimes but your gentle paw always connects it And it's not so bad You know it's not so bad at all How can a world with cats like you be otherwise? We can lie in bed all day We can stretch out in the sun And there are many who I'll call my darling But you're my darling
