I would sell my boots
And go on cabs
Just to be with you
Because I without you and you without me,
(Are) like a handle without a door,
My kitten, my little bird.
I would go to the railroad station
And sell scarves to strangers
Just to be with you
Because I without you and you without me,
(Are) like a handle without a door,
My kitten, my little bird.
I would eat without a table,
And sleep without a pillow
Just to be with you
Because I without you and you without me,
(Are) like a handle without a door,
My kitten, my little bird.
I would sleep at the railroad station
And wash strangers' floor
Just to be with you
Because I without you and you without me,
(Are) like a handle without a door,
My kitten, my little bird. |
