Lover Be Kindly

I walk in a gutter love, all up and down
Little drop of water is what it takes to bring me down
I might not be here next time you look around
Be kind to the swallow hovering at your brow
If my enemies don't get me, my friends'll know how

Hey love, be kind
I'm too old to die and I'm too young to cry
Love love love love
Lover be kind

Why'd you give me your feelings if you didn't want the same?
Forgive me if I'm too feeble but I'm rather new at your game
Now you ask for my number to call to play
You will have to buy me a phone, write down the number babe
I won't be responsible for letting you in again

Hey love, be kind
I'm too old to die and I'm too young to cry
Love love love love
Lover be kind

Is this a joke for the insane? You call and ask how I'm
I put my bubblegum away, I change to a rhyme
I've got my bell around my neck I case I go blind
Don't worry I'll get my head out of my twine
If you will please get your cut throat off my knife

Hey love, be kind
I'm too old to die and too young to cry
Love love love love
Lover be kind
Hey but love love love love
Please don't be mine
