All To Myself Lyrics

All To Myself lyrics

I'd start with the boys that hang
at the pier
like bats in the night, get
tangled
in your hair
I'd take away the weekend
shoreleave
lovers
that flood the ports with drunken
tales of far away
I'd take
away the Eiffel tower
I'd take away the port of Spain
I take your yellow
coat
no more romantic walks in the
pouring rain
then I'd make
washboard, wind-
blown, sea-side, serenading, prep
school boys
disappear
that flock in the summer like gulls to
the beach
and pick at
your heart like the
garbage on the street
I'll take away all the things
that make
you look away from me
I'd take away everything
then I'd have
you all to myself
I'd take away the guy with the
monkey wrench
smile
he'll steal your heart away and make
a Minnesota mile
like a
corner store crook on a prison
break or a porno queen in a
party
cake
I'd take away the Spanish steps
I'd take away the Golden Gate
I
take away everything
just to have you all to myself
I never thought it'd
get this bad
inside of me
I never thought that I'd be so
consumed with
jealousy
I need you every night and every
day in bed
these thoughts
keep spinning in
my head
then I'd make the big screen,
battle-
scarred, bold-faced, leading man,
lone star heroes
disappear
that fill your heart with thoughts of
being swept away
but
that's a part a man like me could
never play
I'll take away all the
things that make
you look away from me
I'd take away everything
just
to have you all to myself
