When it begun, it begun, it was up to the sun
The sun’s one was a-coming, I was about to be undone
What could we do, do, when one was of two
Two minds, two lives, too much, too true
What could you see, see, what could it be?
If ever there’s a promise in hand it’s my key
To the door, door, a key to a door
A door where what’s a-coming will be better than before
My girl she has an accent that I don’t even understand
So step up, up, heaven above
Someone wasn’t kidding when he was talking about love
Step down, down, baby we’ll head downtown
You’ll be wearing my tiara, I’ll be wearing your crown
Step left, left, see what you get
The size of your opinion stops y’all from getting wet
Step right, right, babe we’ll stay up all night
If we’re still around tomorrow we’ll be doing alright
My girl she has an accent that I don’t even understand
I headed south, south, down to the mouth
The sun was always shining but I gotta do without
I headed east, east, east to the beast in me
Says boy you gotta take a taste at least
I headed west, west, is the west the best
I gotta say I wanna put it to the test
I headed north, north, way to the north
I bled it to the north now was there something coming forth, you know
My girl she has an accent that I don’t even understand
She took off the wrong weekend
We fell like castles made of sand
My girl she has an accent that I don’t even understand
