What can I take from you? What can I take from you? What's worth a plug nickel from a silly fool? What can I take from you? Why did I leave you there? Why did I leave you there? With your long black kitty and your funky hair Why did I leave you there? Give it to me! Talkin' about a friend of mine See Mr. Danny Boy Did ya see Mr. Danny Boy He's a rock top boxer, just a bundle of joy See Mr. Danny Boy Why did I leave you there? Why did I leave you there With your long black kitty and your funky hair Why did I leave you there? I said Baby Stop lovin' by the rules I heard the rumors, Danny Stop your talkin', Danny I heard the rumors, Danny, Danny Lost down in Santa Fe I had love with a runaway And to think my daddy thought I was gay Said I lost mine in Santa Fe The riff miester is my friend The riff miester is my friend I love that mother fucker till the very end Bolan was my man Baby, stop lovin' by the rules I heard the rumors, Danny Stop your talkin', Danny I heard the rumors, Danny, Danny It's a long, long road for this here desperado And it's cold cold cold, visions of tomorrow When was the last time you wrote for me a song? I said Baby, stop loving by the rules And don't play for sorrow Don't play the fool Don't play the fool
