CAPO 2
Blue eyed Susans
Standing in a domino line
Falling in and out of love all the time
They ll break your heart just to see a boy cry
But not me
I am a brown eyed loner
I march to my own drummer
I m a piccolo owner and the labor of my mother s love
Honey you d be a load off her mind
But with or without you
My only plan is to be free
With or without you
I m still me
I ll join a band and sing like a canary
Get out of here and change my name to Cherry
And every night I ll thank Holy Mother Mary
(short)
I am a keeper
(short)
Oh I am a keeper baby
(short)
I am a keeper
Long stem roses
Standing in a vase by my bed
Standing tall like the dreams in my head
I m not gonna live in this house til I m dead
I like you a lot
Cause you re different a little
You got answers to my riddles
Your daddy is a pistol
And you are a son of a gun
I could be the daughter that he never wanted
But with or without you
I ll buy a farm at the edge of the prairie
Live off the land and change my name to Cherry
And every night I ll thank Holy Mother Mary
(short)
I am a keeper
(short)
Oh I am a keeper baby
(short)
I am a keeper
(x3)
With or without you
My only plan is to be free
With or without you
Baby
I ll buy a sword and join the military
Cut my hair and change my name to Cherry
And every night I ll thank Holy Mother Mary
(short)
I am a keeper
(short)
Oh I am a keeper baby
(short)
I am a keeper
I am a keeper baby
