Verse               I do want to get you alone

                        I do want to bite to the bone

                        I do want a room of my own

                        And spend time alone

Verse               I do love a feeling that’s blue

                        I do like to ponder what’s new

                        I do want a table for two

                        And share it with you

Chorus            Be right back while I go run in the rain

                        Clear out my brain, refrain

                        Don’t mind me while I just stay in my lane

                        Keeping it sane, unchain

Verse               I do love a song to be sung

                        I do like to climb the next rung

                        I do see I’m kind of high strung

                        With a spirited tongue

Chorus             Be right back while I go run in the rain

                        Clear out my brain, refrain

                        Don’t mind me while I just stay in my lane

                        Keeping it sane, unchain

Bridge             No lesson to learn

                        Everybody does their thing

                        No point of concern

                        Always find some time to sing   always

Verse               I do love your snore in my ear

                        I do relish having you near

                        I do know when we shed a tear

                        We befriend every fear

Chorus            [Guitar Solo]

Verse               I do wander into the past

                        I do wonder if it will last

                        I do see that life goes by fast

                        But I’m having a blast

Chorus            Be right back while I go run in the rain

                        Clear out my brain, refrain

                        Don’t mind me while I just stay in my lane

                        Keeping it sane, unchain
