I was livin’ free
Climbin’ in a tree
When you said to me
“Come down now.”
You were kinda blue
I was kinda, too
When I said to you
“Come down now?”
I was in the deep
Livin’ on the cheap
When you said to me
“Come down now.”
You were never true
But I’m into you
What am I to do?
Come down and
Start at square one?
I was in a line
Workin’ overtime
When I heard a chime -
“Come down now.”
You were over there
Offered me a chair
Slicker than a snare -
“Come down now.”
Didn’t see the soap
Fallin’ down a slope
Never gotta vote -
I’m down now
I’m down, down now
Coming down
From my position
Isn’t what had in mind
Coming down
My superstition
Says I’ll never be just fine
Start at square one
