Janis Ian Boy, I Really Tied One On song lyrics

Boy, I really tied one on

I spent the night away from home

I know you’re not to blame

If I can’t recall your name

And I’m sorry if it causes you pain

Boy, I really lost my head

I woke up in a double bed

Allow me the pleasure of taking your measure

Though I’m sure you ain’t nobody’s treasure

And I know it isn’t ladylike

To do what I’ve done tonight

Wake up, I’ve got news for you

Nobody’s knocking at your door

Nobody’s gonna pull you through

Nobody needs you any more

Nobody’s knocking at your door

Boy, I went around the bend

Thought I’d made a life-long friend

Imagine my surprise when I looked into your eyes

And I saw the kind of friends you meant

I think I’m gonna take the cure

I’m going on the wagon for sure

I may feel a fool for a Sunday or two

But it’s better than a Sunday with you

And I know it isn’t ladylike

To do what I’ve done tonight

Wake up, I’ve got news for you

Nobody’s knocking at your door

Nobody’s gonna pull you through

Nobody needs you any more

Nobody’s knocking at your door
