Roger Songtext

My darling Roger, I'd give my life away
My darling Roger, I'd give my life away
My darling Roger, I'd give my life away
My darling Roger, I'd give my life away

Don't know what to do with all these feelings in my heart
I'm sick with fear about the world's decay and my complexion
Can't shake this burden made of flesh and blood and bone
My mind and body aren't on speaking terms, I've got to make a connection

But it's not so bad
You know it's not so bad at all
How can a world with cats like you be otherwise?

We can lie in bed all day
We can stretch out in the sun
And there are many who I'll call my darling
But Roger, Roger you're the only one

When the day is through you press your forehead close to mine
So much to do, it's true, too true, for you I would soon make time
And in my darkest hour your black coat brings me peace
It's a little sappy but this coyness, Roger, were no crime

And it's not so bad
You know it's not so bad at all
How can a world with cats like you be otherwise?

We can lie in bed all day
We can stretch out in the sun
And there are many who I'll call my darling
But Roger, Roger you're the only one

My darling Roger, I'd give my life away
My darling Roger, I'd give my life away

Don't know what to do with all these feelings in my heart
It takes a true friend to put it all back into perspective
Can't justify this joy that dominates my life
My aim is false sometimes but your gentle paw always connects it

And it's not so bad
You know it's not so bad at all
How can a world with cats like you be otherwise?

We can lie in bed all day
We can stretch out in the sun
And there are many who I'll call my darling
But you're my darling
