[Verse]
My friends, my dear friends
And my lovers, oh, my lovers
I'd leave you for them
They've got a hand on my back

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama has money now and Mama has friends
She's making rags for some uptown hags
With their money in bags and

[Chorus]
Why are you so sad?
Why are you always so sad?
Why do I not understand?
Why don't I see what it is you see?
Why can't I live and just be?
I'm full of guilt
I am full of guilt

[Pre-Chorus]
You're very tall
You're very handsome
You have it all
Your skin smells like man and I
Never know how I ached
You will never know how I ached
[Chorus]
Ever considered the sea?
I heard you had to be strong
Why not float around with me?
It won't take you so long
You can go where I'm at
You can hang around with me

[Verse]
A few good men will go where they ought
Where they ought not be
And a few good mothers go for what they
What they ought not teach

[Verse]
I long for a touch, a reminder of us
But, but it must not be
And a few strong branches over water
Reach for what they ought not reach

[Outro]
I hope your mother knows
Where it is you have been
I hope your mother knows
What it is you have seen
She'd be so proud
