Things Us Oldies Say

 


Things Us Oldies Say

(Things We Said Today)

Don’t pull your face that way

If the wind does change

Your face will stay that way

No way to rearrange

 

No, don’t talk to strangers

When you are so far away

I hope you will remember

Things us oldies say

 

You do as I say now

Not as I do, mind

Don’t say a harsh word now

If there’s nothing kind

 

Better wear clean undies

In case a car runs over along the way

I hope you will remember

Things us oldies say

 

Leave it alone or you will find

That kind of love will put hair on your palm

And though we may go blind

Love is here to stay and that's enough

 

Don’t make me come in there

When your father’s home

It’s time to cut your hair

We'll go on and on

 

Better wear clean undies

In case a car runs over along the way

I hope you will remember

Things us oldies say

She's A Woman (That's Got Depression)

She's A Woman (That's Got Depression) She's A Woman My love has got depression, She needs a psychiatric session. Any time she's down and blue, I try my best to see her through.   My love has got depression And she thinks she’s the one and only. That’s ever been so lonely You know she isn’t.   She forgets to eat, forgets to smile, Says it's all been like this for a while. But I love her more each day, Even when the skies are grey.   She forgets to eat, forgets to smile She won't admit it but it's true, There's a lot that she's been through. Always a frown on her dial   She's a woman who's got depression, But she's a beautiful obsession.   My love has got depression, She needs a psychiatric session. Any time she's down and blue, I try my best to see her through.   My love has got depression And she thinks she’s the one and only. That’s ever been so lonely You know she isn’t. ...

I'm Down

  I'm Down (I'm Down) You tell lies thinking I can't see, You can't cry 'cause you're down like me. I'm down (I'm really, really down), I'm down (Down on the ground), I'm down (I'm really, really down).   How can you laugh when you know I'm down? (How can you laugh?) How can you laugh when you know I'm down?   Here I go, feelin' low again, Every day, it's a mental trend. I'm down (I'm really, really down), I'm down (Down on the ground), I'm down (I'm really, really down).   How can you laugh when you know I'm down? (How can you laugh?) How can you laugh when you know I'm down?   Feelin' stuck in a rut, ain't no thrill, Tried to get out but I'm here still. I'm down (I'm really, really down), I'm down (Down on the ground), I'm down (I'm really, really down).   How can you laugh when you know I'm down? (How can you laugh?) How can you laugh when you know I'm down...
