Color Me Once - Early Version
Color me once, color me twice
Everything gonna turn out nice
Everlasting arms, you gotta keep me from these false alarms
Alarm, alarm, I see you so sad
Ring, ring, I see you, I'm glad
Maybe, maybe, in the fire of her desire
"Patience, patience", said the man
Patience, patience, I can't understand
Patience, like a man to a wife
I got patience on my neck like a cold, cold knife
I say, "Jack, be nimble, Jack, fall dead
Jack, bend over and give Jilly head"
Oh, oh-oh, mm-mm, oh-oh, oh
You gotta help my body heal my soul
Two men working, a sinner, a saint
Picking up a pail of paint
Painted the house black as night
When the sun came up, the house was white
You gotta go on (go on), go on (go on)
Go on (go on), go on (and on, and on)
Gotta go on (go on), go on (go on)
Go on (go on)
You gotta try and live life like I couldn't
Color me once, color me twice
Everything gonna turn out nice
Everlasting arms, you gotta keep me from these false alarms
Alarm, alarm, I see you so sad
Ring, ring, I see you, I'm glad
Maybe, maybe, in the fire of her desire
Everything gonna turn out nice
Everlasting arms, you gotta keep me from these false alarms
Alarm, alarm, I see you so sad
Ring, ring, I see you, I'm glad
Maybe, maybe, in the fire of her desire
"Patience, patience", said the man
Patience, patience, I can't understand
Patience, like a man to a wife
I got patience on my neck like a cold, cold knife
I say, "Jack, be nimble, Jack, fall dead
Jack, bend over and give Jilly head"
Oh, oh-oh, mm-mm, oh-oh, oh
You gotta help my body heal my soul
Two men working, a sinner, a saint
Picking up a pail of paint
Painted the house black as night
When the sun came up, the house was white
You gotta go on (go on), go on (go on)
Go on (go on), go on (and on, and on)
Gotta go on (go on), go on (go on)
Go on (go on)
You gotta try and live life like I couldn't
Color me once, color me twice
Everything gonna turn out nice
Everlasting arms, you gotta keep me from these false alarms
Alarm, alarm, I see you so sad
Ring, ring, I see you, I'm glad
Maybe, maybe, in the fire of her desire
