What can I take from you?
What can I take from you?
What's worth a plug nickel from a silly fool?
What can I take from you?
Why did I leave you there?
Why did I leave you there?
With your long black kitty and your funky hair
Why did I leave you there?

Give it to me!
Talkin' about a friend of mine

See Mr. Danny Boy
Did ya see Mr. Danny Boy
He's a rock top boxer, just a bundle of joy
See Mr. Danny Boy
Why did I leave you there?
Why did I leave you there
With your long black kitty and your funky hair
Why did I leave you there?

I said Baby
Stop lovin' by the rules
I heard the rumors, Danny
Stop your talkin', Danny
I heard the rumors, Danny, Danny

Lost down in Santa Fe
I had love with a runaway
And to think my daddy thought I was gay
Said I lost mine in Santa Fe
The riff miester is my friend
The riff miester is my friend
I love that mother fucker till the very end
Bolan was my man

Baby, stop lovin' by the rules

I heard the rumors, Danny
Stop your talkin', Danny
I heard the rumors, Danny, Danny

It's a long, long road for this here desperado
And it's cold cold cold, visions of tomorrow
When was the last time you wrote for me a song?

I said Baby, stop loving by the rules
And don't play for sorrow
Don't play the fool
Don't play the fool
