Chorus:

That's what I want

That's what I need

That's what I want

Ho-down

She sprays her lies around her like the clouds release the rain

And endless stream of promises that vaporize again

Remember last tuesday when you said it was the end

You caught her in your nissan getting funky with your best friend

She will never change till her flesh is under dirt

But then at least she's hangin' with neighbors she deserves

Forgive me if I seem to sound a little on the loose

But I cannot pour sugar just to sweeten up the truth

I would like to wish her to a long forgotten dream

Happened early morning when I was just two or three

Everyone around who didn't quite fit in the mix

Turned and waved goodbye and disappeared without a hitch

Except my friend billy who live just across the way

The world belonged to us forever on from that day

Until we ran into that sneaky girl from down the street

Who tried to smile so pretty stealing billy right from me

Chorus

The world spun around her everywhere that she would go

But even my friend billy knew that she was just a - oh no

She had such a way to twist and turn a simple truth

Told my friend billy I had been a little loose

Then billy took her by the arm and left me standing all along

I just had to wait there watching them do-se-do

Till billy pushed her in the deepest darkest hole around

It was goodbye sneaky girl - ho down

I would like to wish her for her a place to somewhere far

A place in outer space to some exotic little star

A million miles away would probably suit the planet fine

Someplace where it's clear she is gone and you are mine

Or maybe some romantic little island in the sea

As far away as it is possible to be

She can have the flowers and the wind

And I can have my baby back with me once again

Chorus

I would like to wish for her another little story

My daddy said to me when I was just a little girly

He told me 'bout a pretty graceful lovely lady bird

Who never could find a nest good enough for her

From every tree she landed in she saw one that was better

So off she went before she ever could regain her breath

Wasn't it a pity when she finally hit the ground

It was goodbye lovely birdy - ho down

Goodbye lovely birdy - ho down
