lirik lagu barbara’s song – patricia o’callaghan
[polly]
i once used to think, in my innocent youth
and i was once as innocent as you
that someone someday might come my way
and then how should i know what’s best to do?
and if he had money
and seemed a nice guy
and his workday shirts were white as snow
and if he knew how to treat a girl with respectfully
i’d have to tell him: no
that’s where you must keep your head screwed on
and insist on going slow
sure, the moon will shine throughout the night
sure, the boat is on the river, tied up tight
that’s as far as things can go
oh, you can’t lie back, you must stay cold at heart
oh, you must not let your feelings show
oh, whеnever you feel it might start
ah, then your only answеr’s: no
the first one that came was a man of kent
and all that a man ought to be
the second one had three ships in the harbor
and the third was crazy about me
and as they had money
and all seemed nice guys
and their workday shirts as white as snow
and as they knew how to treat a girl respectfully
each time i told them: no
that’s where i still had my head screwed on
and i chose to take it slow
sure, the moon could shine throughout the night
sure, the boat was on the river, tied up tight
but that’s as far as things could go
oh, you can’t lie back, you must stay cold at heart
oh, you must not let your feelings show
oh, whenever you feel it might start
ah, then your only answer’s: no
but then one day, and that day was blue
came someone who didn’t ask at all
and he went and hung his hat on the nail in my small attic
and what happened next i can’t quite recall
and as he had no money
and was not a nice guy
and even his sunday shirts were not like snow
and as he did not know how to treat a girl respectfully
i could not tell him: no
that’s the time my head was not screwed on
and to h*ll with going slow
oh, the moon was shining clear and bright
oh, the boat kept drifting downstream all that night
that was how it simply had to go
yes, you must lie back, you can’t stay cold at heart
in the end you have to let your feelings show
oh, the moment you know it must start
ah, then’s no time for saying: no
