Cindy's Lament

(album: An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down - 1969)

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Aw yeah
Listen here

You don't have to love me always, Cindy
You don't need to see me every day of the week
You don't have to notice my brand new shoes
But please, please say hello some time
You know I've tried to impress you Cindy
I even lent ya my library book
I guess you forgot, good God you soon forgot it, woman
I don't mind but please say hello some time

And your mother, she can't stand my face
And your brother, keeps me from your door
But I'll stay around yes I'll stay around, honey
I'll even watch over your garden fence, aw yeah
I've watched your friends, Cindy, laugh in my face
But I won't apologise for the way that I am
If only they knew, baby, yes, if only they knew
That you've already spent one night with me, honey
