lyrics

Got two hands, one to hold the other
So I don't need yours
Got two feet, and legs to carry me
So I may break free like waves from the sea

Slight of hand and a sideways glance
That reached in and stole the one thing I own

Got one heart, it beats without thought
Sometimes it gets lost
It's walkin away as I watch

Got two hands one to hold the other
So I don't need yours

Got ideas and I got a plan
But oh how it flutters

Into your glance, your silent indifference
That reached in me and stole
A piece of me that once was whole

Got one soul left ragged and cold
Dreams wrapped in gold now bought and sold

Got pride and fight inside
Got knocked down, held my chin up high
Like a blow-up clown at a fair in town

Two pennies a punch
You still had enough for lunch
And a tip for the dancin' girl
Who smiled as you watched
Smiled as you watched
