That was up to yCou
There's so many come to sDmee me G
Who want their own tattCoo
I fixed a needle in a hFolder
Laid my hand upon your spCine
And there upon your shDmoulder G
I drew the picture as your sCign
When I think abDmout us G

They like to get me off the pCier
And I dream I'm on a stDmeamer G
Pullin' out of hCere
