comin back soon the bereft man s song

Crash Test Dummies

I ve all my wisdom teeth
Two up top, two beneath
And yet I ll recognise
My mouth says things that aren t so wise
But when I sing my darling s praise
I know I m right, or close anyways
For she s a gem upon this earth
I know to me she will return

CHORUS:
Oh I know it s true, I know it s true
That I was made for her, and she me too
And I m confident that she ll think so too
And she ll be coming back...soon

Mornings we have toast and tea
I gaze across the table, she glares right back at me
And when we re getting low on jam
I give her the last spoonful, that s just the way I am
And I drive her to work each day
Even though it s early and work is far away
And I don t even say a thing
When she plays the radio so loud you cannot think

[chorus]

I can t stand her goddamned friends
But I will tolerate them, even though I hate them
And I will put up with her parents
cause she says I ll not meet someone who is so kind and sweet
Ever again...

[chorus]

I ve all my wisdom teeth
Two up top, two beneath
And yet I ll recognise
My mouth says things that aren t so wise
But when I sing my darling s praise
I know I m right, or close anyways
For she s a gem upon this earth
I know to me she will return

[chorus]

Yeah she ll be coming back...soon
