When I dropped my lighter in the river
I had no use but to go down there and get it
Walking by the water line
Well, I found some use in wasting my time
Yes, I found the red letters
Yes, I found the red letters
When I got out of the water
There's a girl standing there
She was pretty with a big pink ribbon
Flowing through her hair
She walked up to me so delicately
And she danced, she did not care
And she drew a line in the sand
And she said, boy, you best beware
This is my private property
This is my private property
Well, now, usually I sit down on the left
But tonight I sat down on the right
Just to see how good looking that you are
And how much money you got there in your bag
I wanted to see if it did matter
I wanted to see if it did matter
So right now I've moved back to the middle
And I tell you that it halted all the speaking
Cause it seems that my moving and a shaking
It was all this sick-sad world was needing
Yes it was all the hope that they were needing
Yes it was all the hope that they were needing
