[Part I]
[Verse 1]
Deeper waters flowed, recently it showed
Tryin' to cover your head
Tryin' to frighten you, tryin' to fight with you
Really gettin' you scared
But don't you worry, you love of mine
Pretty soon it will all be fine
And we'll just go on

[Verse 2]
Higher hills to climb, climbing all the time
Tryin' to find a way through
Fallin' down again, on the ground again
Wondering what you can do
But don't you worry, you love of ours
They look like weeds but they're really flowers
And they'll soon be gone

[Part II]
[Verse 3]
You won't stand up, you won't sit down
Your head's a mile above the ground
And though we tend to scold you now
I couldn't start to tell you how
We couldn't start to tell you how
There's just no way to say how much
We love you
[Chorus]
You, little Dennis, you, you're full of new surprise
Love you
You little Dennis with the rascal in your eyes
You're a prize

[Verse 4]
It could be bad, it could be worse
You're takin' out your mother's purse
And though you cried when you got told
The money there was for the old
To keep their dogs from getting cold
The only thing that can't be sold is love

[Chorus]
You, little Dennis, you, you're full of new surprise
Love you
You little Dennis with the rascal in your eyes

[Bridge]
Will you pick up your toys?
Will you be a good boy?
Will you, please, please?

[Part III]
[Outro]
There's a way
There's a way
If you'll play
If you'll stay
There's a way through
There's a way to
Take away blue
Take away blue
There's a way
There's a way
If you'll play
If you'll stay
There's a way through
There's a way to
Take away blue
Take away blue

There's a way
There's a way
If you'll play
If you'll stay
There's a way through
There's a way to
