Hey, Louise
things may not be what they seem
Cos I'm not in this bed to love you
But there's another that I see
And she's got the worst of me
So three things for you instead, Louise
If she comes down from a mountain
If she comes down just for me,
I'll have to kill the friends
I've made
But remember that God saves,
a place in his heart for thee, Louise
Hey, Louise,
things may not be what they seem
Cos I'm not in this bed to love you
But there's an apple that I see,
and she's got the worst of me
So pretty things for you instead, Louise
I've got to get away to sort this funk out
I've got to stay away
from sweet Clarice
I've got to spend some time
sorting future states of mind
I've got to keep this heart inside of me
Hey, Clarice,
things may not be what they seem
Cos I'm not in despair to love you
Though there's a nothin' that I see
and she's got the worst of me
Some pretty things for you instead, Louise
But I can't help thinkin' of your fingers
And I can't help thinkin' of your lips
And I can't help thinkin' of
those kisses from your lips
So I'll keep coming back for prettiness,
Louise
Louise
Louise, Louise
Hey Louise,
things may not be what they seem
Cos I'm not in this bed to love you
For there's another that I see
And she's got the worst of me
So pretty things for you in stead, Louise
Hey, Louise,
things may not be what they seem
Cos I'm not in this bed to love you
But there's another thing I see
And she's got the words for me
So pretty things for you instead, Louise
Pretty things for you instead, Louise
Pretty things for you instead, Louise
