Janis Ian - Boy I Really Tied One On lyrics

rate me

Boy I really tied one on

Spent the night away from home

I know you're not to blame

If I can't recall your name

And I'm sorry if it causes you pain

Boy I really lost my head

I woke up in a double bed

Allow me the pleasure

Of taking your measure

Though I'm sure you ain't

Nobody's treasure

And I know it isn't ladylike

To do what I've done tonight

(chorus)

Wake up I've got news for you

Nobody's knocking at your door

Nobody's gonna pull you through

Nobody needs you anymore, yeah yeah

Nobody's knocking at your door

Boy I went around the bend

Thought I'd made a lifelong friend

Imagine my surprise

When I looked into your eyes

And saw the kind of friends

You meant

I think I'm gonna take the cure

I'm going on the wagon for sure

I may feel a fool

For a Sunday or two

But it's better than a Sunday with you

And I know it isn't ladylike

To do what I've done tonight

(chorus)
