if I only could see
where these greedy thoughts
would lead me
would lead me
 
surely into pain
surely into pain
surely into trouble
 
but you haven't told me
and I didn't know
so I kept asking for more and more
more and more
{tap-da-b-di}
 
if I only could grow
faster than these thoughts
would swallow me
would swallow me
 
surely this is it
surely this is it
surely I'm in trouble
 
but you haven't told me
and I didn't know
so I kept asking for more and more
more and more
{tap-da-b-di}
 

or if...or if only you could protect
protect little girl
so she would not fall
and if she falls at least into your palms
 
love I've told you...love I've told
little shit might fall on your head
love I've told you...love I've told
little things might destroy big plans
 
but I was blind   
but I was blind...
 
surely this is it
surely this is it
surely we are in trouble

but you haven't told me
and I didn't know
so I kept asking for more and more
more and more
{tap-da-b-di}
