Lyrics
Corduroy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And now I've kissed you, I'll show you how I've missed you
Before you even say a word, I already heard
No, someone told me, but don't speak now just hold me
You wandered up a cul-de-sac, and now you've come back
So did you leave him? I'm sure you didn't deceive him
Just the same you're here today, wanting to stay
Have I upset you? Well I tried hard to forget you
Now you're saying: Look, I came, let's try again
I'll make you laugh, when you see this photograph
It's not from that day, I threw all those away
It's just some boy, probably dressed in corduroy
He grew up fast but you've not changed at all
How can I trust you? No, I'm not trying to rush you
But I was here when you ran; I don't think I can
I won't desert her and I'm not about to hurt her
I worshipped you once before, and you slammed the door
I'll make you laugh, when you see this photograph
It's not from that day, I threw all those away
It's just some boy, probably dressed in corduroy
He grew up fast but you've not changed at all
