Lovey

i love somebody named lovey
please don't tell anybody
lovey has no money
or hope of a job
yeah, take a look at the room
that pearl is a slob
why o why do I love lovey?
i hung a picture on the wall
if you see what i saw then you'd know it all
smiling like an angel
eyes honest and true
if you got introduced
well, you'd love lovey too
my o my that lovey
someday
you might have to wander
away from me
if you go far
hop into a car
and come to visit
come to visit me
i love somebody named lovey
yes i do
and you don't have to tell me
i'm lucky
some people are lonely
cryin' in the beer
but i got so much love
the aches and the pains
and the moaning and the groaning disappear
(for a while)
time after time with lovey
someday
you might have to wander
away from me
if you go far
i wish upon a star
you come to visit
come to visit me
