"Wooden Woman" lyrics

T Bone Burnett & Elvis Costello Lyrics

"Wooden Woman"

She said I wooden try that
I really wooden beg
You wooden take my hand now you shouldn't touch my leg
I got the kind of lips you wooden want to miss
Who wooden want to kiss?

I said, "I wooden want to lose you, I wooden want to fail"
I'm driving home to you with a hammer and some nails
So don't try to be fickle if I spin a wooden nickel
Am I calling heads or tails

I wooden care
I wooden tell
A wooden woman wooden wooden wooden yell
You make the papers for newspaper printers
I wish you wooden break my heart to splinters

Wooden Woman - wooden wooden wooden woman wooden
Wooden Woman - wooden wooden wooden woman wooden
Wooden Woman - wooden wooden wooden woman wooden
Wooden Woman - wooden wooden wooden woman wooden

I wooden want a cherry
I wooden want an ash
I wooden want a cedar
Or a little calabash
I wooden want to speak or turn the other cheek
For another slapadash

I said, "I wooden want to lose you, I wooden want to fail"
I'm driving home to you with a hammer and some nails
So don't try to be fickle if I spin a wooden nickel
Am I calling heads or tails

Wooden you?
Wooden I?
You know I wooden wooden wooden lie
She makes the papers for newspaper printers
I wish you wooden break my heart to splinters

Wooden Woman - wooden wooden wooden woman wooden
Wooden Woman - wooden wooden wooden woman wooden
Wooden Woman - wooden wooden wooden woman wooden
Wooden Woman - wooden wooden wooden woman wooden
