I want you to want me  
I need you to need me  
I’d love you to love me  
I’m begging you to beg me  
I want you to want me  
I need you to need me  
I’d love you to love me

Shine up the old brown shoes  
Put on a brand-new shirt  
I’ll get home early from work  
If you say that you love me

Now I’m stepping out this old brown shoe  
Baby, I’m in love with you  
I’m so glad you came here, it won’t be the same now  
I’m telling you

I’m steppin’ out with my baby  
Can’t go wrong 'cause I’m in right  
It’s for sure, not for maybe  
That I’m all dressed up tonight

Steppin’ out with my honey  
Can’t be bad to feel so good  
Never felt quite so sunny  
And I keep on knockin’ wood

Baby mine  
Feel so good  
All the time  
If you would

The girl knows how to love  
Both night and day  
She know how to feel so fine  
All over in every way

My friends feel it’s their appointed duty  
They keep trying to tell me  
All you want to do is use me  
But my answer, yeah to all that use me stuff  
I, I, I yes I want to spread the news  
That if it feels this good getting used  
Oh you just keep on using me  
Until you use me up  
Until you use me up

Oh Maggie, I wished I’d never seen your face  
You made a first-class fool out of me  
But I’m as blind as a fool can be  
You stole my heart but I love you anyway

Wake up, Maggie, I think I got somethin’ to say to you  
It’s late September and I really should be back at school  
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I’m being used  
Oh, Maggie, I couldn’t have tried any more

_Maggie May. Rod Stewart_

I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s Farm, no more  
No, I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s Farm, no more  
Well, I wake up in the morning, fold my hands, and pray for rain  
I got a head full of ideas, that are drivin’ me insane

That’s the same song [Casparlatete](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Casparlatete)…

* * *

Well I came upon a child of God, he was walking along the road  
And I asked him tell me where are you going, this he told me:  
Said, I’m going down to Yasgur’s farm, going to join in a rock and roll band.  
Got to get back to the land, and set my soul free.

We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon,  
And we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.

</div>

I went to a garden party  
To reminisce with my old friends  
A chance to share old memories  
Play our songs again  
When I got to the garden party  
They all knew my name  
No one recognized me  
I didn’t look the same

I’d like to be

Under the sea

In a octopus’ garden, in the shade

Tear right to pieces  
Left to recess a watery grave  
Sensing the blood of prey  
Swimming in fear for life  
Rolling over  
Falling into jaws  
Teeth that chatter  
It distracts them all  
The Fiji mermaid  
She will let it know  
Time is coming to feed and knaw

Look, he’s crawling up my wall  
Black and hairy, very small  
Now he’s up above my head  
Hanging by a little thread

Boris the spider

On candy stripe legs the spiderman comes  
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun  
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead  
Looking for the victim shivering in bed  
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and  
Suddenly a movement in the corner of the room  
And there is nothing I can do  
When I realize with fright  
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight

I close my eyes for a second and pretend it’s  
Me you want  
Meanwhile, I try to act so nonchalant  
I see a summer’s night with a magic moon  
Everytime that you  
Walk in the room

There’s a white light and it’s calling me.

I don’t wanna go to heaven if you’re going to hell,  
I’ll burn with you,  
I’ll burn with you,  
I’ll burn with you…

Up in Memphis, the music’s like a heatwave

Long distance information  
Give me Memphis, Tennessee  
Help me find a party  
That tried to get in touch with me  
She did not leave a number  
But I know who placed the call  
'Cause my uncle took the message  
And he wrote it on the wall
