Dennis DeYoung parody lyrics
Davy Jones and Calypso Duet
For use with Please
(What does the markup on these lyrics mean?)
You sent me to-take those who were lost to-the-next life
I had a couple of ideas I would give as they-died
Two wrong thoughts, you cried
I could-be-a dead man, just in rumors and lies
If my words aren’t enough for you, then come watch me slice
Cause lady, if you trust me let it show
Don’t be so insecure about my love
It’s hard for me to show emotion
I’d cut the way-to my heart clean open
And you’re the only one I really need
Chorus:
Please - I’ve gone on the shore just to see you
Ca - lyp - so, please - I’ve served as-long-as you’ve asked me to
Ca - lyp - so, please - oh please
What am I, living down to your expectations
Please - oh please
So let’s give our love one more chance
I sent you to a soul when him end-was nigh
You were acting as if him shouldn’t exist
Blinded by your own light
Dere has been so much dat you have been known to be
But un - til now, you had never been cruel
Your purpose is corrupt - ing
So Davy, if you love anyt’ing let it show
Don’t be so insincere about our love
It’s hard for me to hide my feelings
I be t’ink - ing I should leave ye
So if you love anyt’ing, don’t pretend you don’t
[Repeat chorus]
Davy if you love anyt’ing let it show
You can trust me, lady, I am going to change
Don’t be so insincere about our love
I’ll do anything just to ease the pain
It’s hard for me to hide my feelings
You know I love you
I be t’ink - ing I should leave ye
You know I love you
So if you love anyt’ing
Lady please don’t go
[Chorus, with the following lines inserted between the last two lines:]
You know when souls die, I am gonna take them
Please - oh please
So let’s compromise - see what I make-them
Please - oh please
