Thinkin’ ‘bout you
makes me happy
and when I’m happy
I don’t care what
anybody thought or felt or did or said
except you
in my hands
Except you
in my hands
Your note goodbye
in my hands
I remember the night Romeo fell dead
She was behind the baptismal
blowin’ deacon doctor daddy
what’s his name
Like a saxophone
on a misty autumn night
Street corner outside the Casino
You know
I still love her and
I still can’t say
that she’s to blame
cause I was broke and
she had to make some
quick pocket change and
she heard his body crashing into the table where
his only love
Juliette lay in wake
I never knew the fool
but he ain’t the only one
that died
for love’s sake
when the truth came
rappin’ through
the Coney Island window
You said
She said
She was there with
Deacon, Doctor, Daddy
What’s his name
said he’d pay for her hair
That’s how she saw them
Dead
But what she said to me was something like
“Well...
...You See...
...What had happened was and
I’m sorry ‘bout her brother but
I just had to leave.
I still can’t say
that she’s to blame
cause I was broke and
she had to make some
quick pocket change and
she heard his body crashing into the table where
his only love
Juliette lay in wake
But you were
the only one
with my head in your lap and
my tears in your skirt
but you were
the only one
with weed and
whispers wine and
Twisted silhouettes and
shadows tap the walls and
dancing in my shirt and
morning light shining through it all and
coffee and your scent on my skin and
I wonder if you’re happy
‘Cause I’m happy here just
thinkin’ ‘bout you just
thinkin’ ‘bout you
makes me happy
and when I’m happy
I don’t care what
anybody thought or felt or did or said
except you
