lyrics

I watched my love wash her whole body
whole body whole body blues
I watched my love wash her whole body
and man it never looked so good to me

Bought her a rose with my own money
whole body whole body blues
bought her a rose with my own money
just like any normal spendthrift would
now don't you think

And she still had the nerve to ask me

Are you devoted to me?

I said well sure now I think so,
I said of course
now I think so, well what do you think? I think so

write her in pencil not scented ink
whole body whole body blues
write her in pencil not scented ink
because I am not that girly
Hey! no I isn’t! and no I ain’t!

Kiss her each morning and before sleep
whole body whole body blues
kiss her each morning and before sleep
as is required by the jury
cause I know if I didn’t
it would result in my own physical injury
but hey, if you see her don’t say anything
cause everything is good (wink wink) when I am with my baby

She comes up and she asks me again

Are you devoted to me?

I said I told you that I think so
she says guess what? I just don’t know
I said I told you that I think so
she says guess what? I just don’t know

do you god bless me before each sneeze?
whole body whole body blues
do you god bless me before each sneeze
I say how could I possibly know you’re gonna sneeze
before its release?
She says, I do that Bewitched nose-twitch wiggling
that little (twinkle-twinkle-twink)
I do that Bewitched nose-twitch wiggling
I say well my god, how am I supposed to know these things
you know if you want me to know these things
you just gotta tell me
I can’t be expected to notice certain little cues
for how you want your loving

I’m fast asleep whole body
Not my whole body
whole body blues
I sift through dreams
whole body blues
about my love’s plotting
and about her strange calling
and about our love rotting

And I just can’t help but ask myself in the end

Are you devoted to me?

You know what, I can’t say for sure
no, no, no, no
can’t say for sure
no, no, no ,no
can’t say for sure
