i'm wronging you this little song
cause I can't get it right
i tried to write it yesterday
and nearly all last night
i want to say some kinds of things
and say them in a song
but when the pen hits paper i am
getting them all wrong
i want to tell you that you're swell
but it comes out like swill
i want to call you Betty
but i end up saying Bill
i want to say your eyes are pools
but it comes out like pails
i want to sing it gently
but i hammer you with nails
i write until my fingers turn
a shade of cherry red
and when i've used up all my thoughts
this song is all i've said
i know it isn't very good
and isn't very long
i'll sing it in no proper key -
i hope you like this wrong.
