I keep on churning away, but pay no mind
You don't know nothing 'bout me, but that's alright

I Tell you true
And I'll be there
And that's for sure
You got to let me go everywhere
Let me through that door
Let me through that door

You say you gotta bee in your bonnet
You know for every sting there's a cure
But don't you put your finger right on it
You'll only make it hurt all the more

I doubt if you'll be liable
To read it in the bible
I ain't gonna say any more

You can't build enough in a row
Don't kid yourself
You gotta know they're all insane
They're goin' ridin' on the range
I don't need no high fly strutter
Go babe, you're driving me crazy

You got a new shiny beau
It don't pay to love
It don't pay to love

You say you gotta bee in your bonnet ...

Well there you go blaming yourself
There you go hiding so deep in your shell
You better not cry when your baby comes home
You know she's gonna find out somehow
You're having a breakdown right here and now
I guess you don't know where you're headed for now
It's OK..... you'll live to see another day

Lie, cheat, beg, borrow, steal
You gotta find a way to be real
Show me something I ain't seen before
Gonna make it through that door
May be in love it's true
But it's a romance you can't use
Give me something and take it away
You're gonna get it right some day
Gonna get it right some day

You say you gotta bee in your bonnet....
