I'm a caterpillar

Crawling for your love
Crawling for your love
Crawling for your love,
For your love.

I'm a butterfly
I'm a butterfly
Flying for your love
Flying for your love
Flying for your love,
For your love.

Well, i'll be anything that you want me to be.
Baby, i'd even would be a-climbing up your tree.

I'm a pterodactyl
I'm a pterodactyl
Dying for your love
Dying for your love
Dying for your love
For your love.

I'm an abominable snowman
I'm an abominable snowman
Calling for your love
Calling for your love
Calling for your love
For your love.

Well now baby, i'll be anything that you want me to be,
Baby, a big monkey, a little monkey, a chimpanzee.

Oh now,
I'm a caterpillar
I'm a caterpillar
Falling for your love
Falling for your love
Falling for your love
For your love.

Oh baby,
Falling for your love
Falling for your love
Falling for your love
For your love.

Falling for your love
Falling for your love
Falling for your love
For your love.

Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird, and she warbles when she flies
But she never hollers cuckoo till the fourth day of july.

Said jack o'diamonds, well jack o'diamonds, well i know you of old,
Honey you robbed me of my silver and out of all my gold,
All of my gold, all of my gold.

Well, jack o'diamonds, oh jack o'diamonds, oh i know you of old,
Honey, you robbed me of my silver and out of all my gold.

Said the cuckoo, she's a cruel bird, and she warbles when she flies
And every time that she passes, my true love says good-bye,
Well, says good-bye, well says good-bye,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, whoo, ooh ...

Well, the blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man stood on the way and cried,

Crying, "oh, show me the way, show me the way,
Show me the way, the way to go home."

My daddy stood on that-a way and cried
My daddy stood on that-a way and cried
Daddy stood on the way and cried,

Crying, "oh, show me the way, show me the way,
Show me the way, the way to go home."

Now now now, the blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man, he stood on the way and cried
Blind man stood on the way and cried,

Crying, "oh, show me the way, show me the way,
Show me the way, the way to go home."

"show me the way, show me the way,
Show me the way, the way to go home."

Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
I may be seeing you around
When i change my living standard and i move uptown,
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.

So long, my honey, so long.
Too bad you had to drift away
'cause i could use some company
Right here on this road, on this road i'm on today.

I get the feeling i could chase you clean on in the ball
And wind up staying pull off, put down strung out and stalled.
Honey, i ain't got time to wait on you or to fetch your super ball,
I got lots of things i've got to do.

I know that you got things to do and places to be.
I guess i'll have to find the thing you placed on me.
I may wind up in the street or sleep beneath a tree,
Still i guess you know honey i've gotta go.

Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
I guess you know you're on your own,
It seems you just got lost somewhere out in the world
And you left me here to face it all alone,
You left me here to face it all alone,
You left me here to face it all alone,
Bye-bye baby, baby bye-bye!

Well, baby, when times are bad,
Now call on me, darling, and i'll come to you.
When you're in trouble and feel so sad,
Well, call on me, darling, i said call on me, and i'll help you.
Yeah!

A man and a woman have each other, baby,
To find their way in this world.
I need you, darling, like the fish needs the sea,
Don't take your sweet, sweet love from me.

Baby, when you're down and feel so blue,
Well, no, you won't drown, darling, i'll be there, too.
You're not alone, i'm there, too,
Whatever your troubles, honey, i don't care.

A man and a woman have each other, baby,
To find their way in this world.
I need you, darling, like the fish needs the sea,
Don't take your sweet, sweet love from me!

Please! so baby, when times are bad,
Call on me, darling, just call on me.

Make it the last time, make it the last time
Make it the last time, oh darling please.

But i don't understand why you always pick the time
When i've just talked to you with your love on my mind.
To see a distant light, to hear a far-off horn
To leave me one more time, i can't stand no more.

Say no more, well no more,
Well no more, darling, please.

And every time you leave i make the very same vow
That when you come back i ain't gonna love you no how.
But when you return you look so fine to me
I can't stand no more, my darling, it's just got to be

I said the last time, oh the last time,
Oh the last time, darling, please.

Don't you understand me, don't you understand me ?
Honey, don't you understand my word ?

Well, you told me that you love me, i believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know it's true.
Hold on to my heart, i'll believe it till you're leaving
Then i'll cry.

Oh darling, oh darling,
Oh darling, make up your mind

Oh, i can't stand your loving, honey, it's tearing me apart,
You done got my soul, but now you're after my heart.
Well, don't hurt me, darling, now you know how to do it so well
I got one consolation, i just wail

It was the last time
It was the last time
It was the last time, darling, please.

When you told me that you love me i believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know it's true.
Hold on to my heart, i'll believe it till you're leaving
Then i'll cry.

Well no more, well no more,
Well no more without you, please!

If you wanna love me, honey, please stay home,
If you don't wanna love me, baby, please stay gone.
Don't you understand me, don't you understand me ?
Don't you understand my words ?

Say no more, oh no more,
Well no more, oh, darling, oh!

You told me that you love me i believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know it's true.
Hold on to my heart, i'll believe it till you're leaving
Then i'll cry, yeah.
