Lydia

Lydia keeps my toothbrush in her apartment and she never complains
Well, hardly ever
And then jokingly, she says, "Boy, it's been so long since I held you"
I nearly gave you up for dead
I nearly gave you up for dead
I nearly gave you up for dead

Lydia, Lydia, how come you understand?
I can offer you nothing at all
This is more than I had planned
Lydia, Lydia, I am at your command, at least until morning comes
And I must be off again
I must be off again

Lydia, you know I always talk about making conscious decisions
About running my own life
Well, maybe I'm fooling myself
It's a role I like to play
'Cause more often than not I'm down here on the corner
I'm sorry I woke you
Do you feel like some company?
Babe, I need a place to stay

Lydia, Lydia, how come you understand?
I can offer you nothing at all
No, this is more than I had planned
Lydia, Lydia, I am at your command, at least until morning comes
And I must be off again
I must be off again

Lydia, Lydia, how come you understand?
I can offer you nothing at all
No, this is more than I had planned
Lydia, Lydia, I am at your command, at least until morning comes
And I must be off again
I must be off again

I sleep with a woman who thinks I'm a child
Well, maybe I am
No, that wouldn't surprise anyone
I suspect that much is true
But Lydia, if you only knew how much I love you
Did you know that I love you? It's the best that I can do

Lydia, Lydia, how come you understand?
I can offer you nothing at all
No, this is more than I had planned
Lydia, Lydia, I am at your command, at least until morning comes
Then I must be off again
I must be off again
