Compilation Series - Every Picture Tells A Story lyrics

It takes some time, feeling inferior Standing in front of my mirror Comb my hair in a thousand ways But I came out looking just the same Daddy said, son you better see the world I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave But remember one thing, don't lose your head To a woman that'll spend your bread So I got out, whoa Paris was the place, you could hardly win If you found you didn't fit in Good friends, police wouldn't give me no keys To claim I was a nasty person Down along the left found mine of my own, whoa Was knocked down by a human stampede Got arrested for insighting the peaceful riot When all I wanted was a cup of tea I was accused, whoa Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough Of the things that keep a young man alive My body stunk, but I kept my funk, whoa At a time I was right outta luck Getting desperate indeed I was, yeah You're looking like a tourist attraction Oh my dear, I better get outta here For nobody can get no sanction I was running for days, no, no On the Peking ferry, I was feeling merry Sailing on my way back here I fell in love with a slit-eyed lady By the light of an eastern moon Shaghai Lil never used the pill She claimed that it just ain't natural She took me up on deck and bit my neck Oooh, people I was glad I found her Oooh, cause I was glad I found her, whoa I firmly believe that I Didn't need anyone but me I sincerely thought I was so complete Look how wrong you can be The women I've known, I wouldn't let tie my shoe They wouldn't give you the time of day But the slit-eyed lady knocked me off my feet God I was, a glad I found her And if there's ever a way I'd talked to you To help you on the way down the road I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats Cause it's all been said before Make the best out of bad times, laugh it off, ha You didn't have to call me anyway So remember every picture tells a story, don't it Every picture tells a story, don't it [repeat till end]
