Stephen Michael Schwartz - Love Me Busybody

You fill my pockets, you're all I have
Though there must be enough of these farm town lads
I'm blessed among millions to share you tonight
With nobody, not that sharing ain't right

So lady in red
I'm waiting in bed
My halo at half-mast
And my dreams being fed

Come on, love me, busybody
While you nickel and dime me to death
You gotta love me, busybody, yeah
Then lay your busy body to rest
You gotta lay your busy body to rest

I thank the good Lord that I ain't ever sinned
But the look in your eyes says I'm about to begin
I see by your smile you think me a child
My whiskers are few, but I'm a sharp twenty-two

So lady in red
I'm waiting in bed
My halo at half-mast
And my dreams being fed
Come on, love me, busybody
While you nickel and dime me to death
You gotta love me, busybody, yeah
Then lay your busy body to rest
You gotta lay your busy body to rest
Lay that pretty busy body to rest

You've emptied my pockets, that's all I had
But payday's in two weeks, then I'll be back
So lady in red, go remake the bed
With those warm satin sheets, 'cause I'll be back in two weeks

Come on, love me, busybody
While you nickel and dime me to death
You gotta love me, busybody, yeah
Then lay your busy body

Come on, love me, busybody
While you nickel and dime me to death
You gotta love me, busybody, yeah
Then lay your busy body

Come on, love me, busybody
While you nickel and dime me to death
