Benny My Dear

(album: Where Does The Devil Hide - 2020)

If you tell a bad joke or whether you're broke
It doesn't really matter to me
You don't act your age and your mother's insane
But nothing good is coming for free

I just wanna tell you when you're down on yourself
I won't be out looking 'round for nobody else
Benny, my dear, how's the view from up here?

When you were a kid, I know that you hid
From everything that you had around you
So I pulled you in and I know that it's been
Hard to have my love surround you

I just wanna tell you when you're down on yourself
I won't be out looking 'round for nobody else
Benny, my dear, how's the view from up here?

Hmm-hmm-hmm
Benny's on the mountaintop
Hmm-hmm-hmm
Benny's on the mountaintop

Don't be afraid that you're gonna get hurt
If you're living that way, Benny, you'll never learn
For whatever it's worth, I know I touched a nerve
Don't be surprised by the love you deserve

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Benny's on the mountaintop
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Benny's on the mountaintop
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Benny's on the mountaintop
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Benny's on the mountaintop
