Her parade on the ceilin' was lookin' like rain When he came by to borrow some blue skies "I'm sleeping," she said, "After a long night's dreamin'" Hard-pressed for a reason to get out of bed Here he is begging for less than enough I'll give you everything, but Her love, ha Everything but her love Her love, ha Everything but her love ♪ I can offer you sheets by the mile If the Carlyle is out of rooms I'm good for it, why don't you ask? But I can't bring her back ♪ Now why would I do that? ♪ When I ask what he wants, his only response Is a single word less than I need He watches TV, she reads the I-Ching I keep my face nearly straight, he tries to leave She must be a dream 'cause you never wake up I'll give you everythin', but Her love, ha Everything but her love Her love, ha Everything but her love Her love, ha Everything but her love Her love, ha Everything but her love
