Keep on holding him to yourself
Keep your anger down
What can I worry about
If you can forgive, well, it might prove it after

Keep all your old linen to yourself
Keep your bank account

If you can give, well, it might be able to work out
Keep your bank account
What you don't worry about
If you can give, well, it might be able to work out

Misheard Lyrics:
You got a little boy
He's so funny
He wants to be with you all the time
But don't tell him he's the only one
Or you - your new boy becomes a-hard to find
He's so funny
He wants to be with you all the time
But don't tell him he's the only one
Or you - your new boy becomes a-hard to find
Original Lyrics:
You got a new boy
He's so fine
He wants to be with you all the time
But don't tell him he's the only one
Or your new boy becomes a hard to find
He's so fine
He wants to be with you all the time
But don't tell him he's the only one
Or your new boy becomes a hard to find
I love the song but it does NOT sound like "Is this the real end?", lol
