You say that Tennessee Green
Is the best thing that ever happened to you
But I know he makes you blue
If you're really going to be serious
then there are things that you must do
First thing first
is find out if he's true
It doesn't matter now,
all that matters now
Is the way you use the word you've got
And the word you've got
Is so heavy, but I know the word you got
Wouldn't hurt a dog, so I don't care
And if you wanna be my friend
You'll say so all the time
But if you don't
then you'll see that's not me
That's not what I do
And if I could go with you for one more day,
But you know it wouldn't work out
That's the way the time machine works
