i've always had the feeling
i'm a tourist in town
picking up boys
faking a love
and then just letting them down
ready to give
any pretty thing a whirl
sometimes i go to thinking
i was unnatural
a mean old churl
i made out in the scenes
that i wanted to make
but i was feeling unholy
on the take
what to do
listen to the way
that i'm singing today
i met a lady last night
made me feel so loving
and so gay
i knew that she'd been
with every boy in the club
but for me it was fresher than springtime
i felt like a cherub
i really didn't care
who she'd been with before
i took her home
we closed the door
on the world
i remember
what my father used to say
"son do thy will
let none say nay
i want no regrets
in the light of the day"
last night
i knew that i found
my lover last night
when i saw the way her eyes
got glassy in the pale moonlight
when she took my hand
said, baby with you
i feel so good and so right
my friends said, "lewis
look you're trashing around"
but i feel like
your home and garden lover
i'm buoyed up
right off the ground
i remember
what my father used to say
"son do thy will
let none say nay
i want no regrets
in the light of the day"
last night
