Hey hey hey, I just drown

By the time my feet' s on the ground

I just can't stand up
No but this loving cup
I just run around

Live it up - she walks by

Yeah I may be a fool

Oh you had my tool
Oh you know that I do, because...

I just can't go by
In my big blind eye
And my swollen nose

Every time that she walks by


Yeah, yeah
I know you can't stand
Hey, hey, yeah
Or just a memory 
I got the love
Ooh
But I just have enough
But I just can't fuck it

Every time that she walks by
Every time that she walks by

Yeah...
Hey, hey I just fucking show

My loving on your knees

Well I just can't stand it
Well I just can't have it
But I've got two left feet

Every time that she walks by

Hey


Hey I get enough
Well I just can't fuck it
Yeah, well I just can't suck it

...that she walks by

Every time that she walks by

Hey, hey, hey

Uh huh huh

Keith sang a guide vocal as he was playing the guitar, and he was just improvising. No one's ever heard it. It's really cool.
