Lyrics:

I got a song that is on my mind, my little love who is never unkind.
I'm a poet and I'm better off dead. These are the words she said.

Down by the breadline pickin' up dough, hand me the guitar, there I'll go.
I would rather make a living instead, instead of bein' in the red.

My little love from the world outside, helpin' me keep, turnin' the tide.
Come and meet me by the neon light. And I'm hoping you'll make it all right.

I'll do anything you see fit, my little love.

My little love movin' in ma soul, my little love who will never turn cold.
It doesn't matter if I ain't shaved, it doesn't matter if I ain't behaved.

My little love you been on my side, helpin' me keep, turnin' the tide.
Have a hard time livin' right now, having a fine time showin' you how.

My little love from the world out there, helpin' me keep, adoin' my share.
Come and meet me by the neon light. And I'm hoping you'll make it all right.

I'll do anything you see fit, my little love.

My little love you been on my mind, my little love who is never unkind.
I'm a poet and I'm better off dead. These are the words she said.

Down by the breadline pickin' up dough, hand me the guitar, there I'll go.
It doesn't matter if I ain't shaved, or it don't matter if I ain't behaved.

I got a light that is in ma soul. I got a love that'll never turn cold.
Come and meet me by the neon tonight. And I'm hoping you'll make it all right.

I'll do anything you see fit, my little love.
I'll do anything you see fit, my little love
