You Blow My Mind

(album: Lead Me On - 1972)

Well, I used think the color of love
Would be a rosy red or a pretty pink
And I thought it would be
A thirsty man crawling home to get a big old drink.

And I thought love was spelled like a bell
B-E-double L bell that you ring
Stead of wham bam hit your man with a pan
Hit him on the head hear the birdies sing.

Oh, you heart breaking, love making
Cut me-a-piece-of-bacon man of mine
And you money shifting, flour sifting
Nose lifting rose of woman kind.

Just keep on doing what you're doing
And what you're doing suits me just fine
And love, I tell you something else
You blow my mind.

Well, I used to think the color of love
Would be a soft green like a pea in a pod
And I thought love would strike
Like a light flashing down a big old lightning rod.

And I thought love was spelled
W-E-double L well that would never run dry
Instead of choke, choke I'm so broke and dry
I can't afford a little bitty tear to cry.

Oh, you money turning, egg churning
Butter burning baby of mine
You half crazy, lean and lazy
Pretty as a wilted daisy man of mine.

Just keep on doing what you're doing
And what you're doing suits me just fine
And love, I tell you something else
You blow my mind.

You blow my mind, you blow my mind
You blow my mind, you blow my mind...
