I said: “I only want
To gently hold your hand”
She smiled and told me: “Don’t
You’re just a funny man”
Why does she call me funny?
Why does she call me so?
Why does she call me, I wanna know
Why does she call me so?
I said: “This world is wild
We have to hold each other”
She said: “You’re just a child
And I am not your mother”
Why does she call me funny?
Why does she call me child?
Why does she call me, I wanna die
Why does she call me child?
I said: “I will be true
And always be around”
She laughed and asked me: “You?
You’re just a funny clown”
Why does she call me funny?
Why does she call me clown?
Why does she call me, I’m going down
Why does she call me clown?
