You want to know How it will be Me and her Or you and me You both stand there Your long hair flowing Your eyes alive, your mind still growing Saying to me What can we do now that we both love you? I love you too And I don't really see Why can't we go on as three You are afraid Embarrassed too No one has ever said such a thing to you Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulders A face like ice A little bit colder Saying to you "You cannot do that, it breaks all the rules" You learned in school But I don't really see Why can't we go on as three We love each other It's plain to see There's just one answer That comes to be Sister lovers Water brothers And in time maybe others So you see What we can do is to try something new If you're crazy too And I don't really see Why can't we go on as three

Fido stayed all night, he would not go home I asked him to leave, I said I do not have that bone I was feelin' lonesome sittin' by the phone Wide awake stayin' up late wishin' I was home You were on the outside talking to some chick I was on the inside feelin' mighty sick Sleep is what I wanted, you know what I got Wide awake... Dogs have it made, lyin' round in the shade Never have to worry about get there on time I can't help but wonder what was on your mind Ridin' round in the pouring rain, havin a heck of time Livin' may be easy, dyin' may be hard But I'm wide awake stayin' up late, sendin' my regards

You showed me how to do exactly what you do, How I fell in love with you Ohh ohh its true, oh I love you You showed me how to say, exactly what you say, in that very special way, ooh ooh its true, you fell for me too. And when I tried it, I could see her fall And I decided Its not a trip at all You taught it to me too, exactly what you do, and now you love me too. Ooh ooh its true, We're in love too La la la la la ooh ooh its true we're in love too You showed me how to do exactly what you do how I fell in love with you.
