I'm undecided about you again   I can be right that you're not here   It's double sided 'cause I ruined it all   But also saved myself   by never believing you dear      Everything good I deem too good to be true   Everything else is just a bore   Everything I have to look forward to   Has a pretty painful and very imposing before      Oh sailor why'd you do it   What'd you do that for   Saying there's nothing to it   Then lettin' it go by the boards      Oh sailor why'd you do it   What'd you do that for   Saying there's nothing to it   Then lettin' it go by the boards      I have too been playing with fifty-two cards   Just 'cause I play so far from my vest   Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard   What could I do but spend my best      Oh sailor why'd you do it   What'd you do that for   Saying there's nothing to it   Then lettin' it go by the boards      Oh sailor why'd you do it   What'd you do that for   Saying there's nothing to it   Then lettin' it go by the boards      And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees   All the other stuff tired itself out first, not me   And in its wake appeared the touch and call of a different breed   One of the steps is getting wise and got me there and then got me      And what a thing to know what could be instead   Oh what a blessed curse to see   Took the agenda from its place in my bed   Made a merry paramour of me      Oh sailor why'd you do it   What'd you do that for   Saying there's nothing to it   Then lettin' it go by the boards      Oh sailor why'd you do it   What'd you do that for   Given the eyes to view it   As it goes by the boards      Oh sailor why'd you do it   What'd you do that for   Saying there's nothing to it   Then lettin' it go by the boards      Oh sailor why'd you do it   What'd you do that for   Saying there's nothing to it   Then lettin' it go by the boards      Oh sailor why'd you do it   What'd you do that for   Given the eyes to view it   As it goes by the boards      Oh sailor why'd you do it   What'd you do that for   Given the eyes to view it   As it goes by the boards
