John Stewart
Chorus:
Come gather the time, I have nothing to do. Come gather the time, I have nothing to do.
Who could be nicer than someone with nothing to do? I've spent all my life looking for someone like you.
(Chorus)
Who could be wiser than someone who knows not at all? That's why I like it. Your face is as blank as a wall.
(Chorus)
If someone should say I was born for a game or make me the President,
If someone should say I was born for a game, you would still hear me say
(Chorus)
Go buy a bonnet that's sold by the carnival man. No, he won't tell you colors come off in your hand.
(Chorus)He's a good lad
A little bit shy so you'll try and have to understand
Such a good lad
And just for a while the guy'll need a helping hand
His word are hard to follow, but his heart has found a way
To show you the things that he never could say;
He's a good lad
A little bit wild but his style is really gentle and kind
He ain't so bad
Right to the end he's a friend, about the best you can find
And as you come to know him, and his needs are comin' through
You'll flash on the day I was talkin' to you.
And he needs somebody to love
Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of -
He's a good lad
And if you come to want him, like I know he wants you to
You'll see all the things I was sayin' are true
And he needs somebody to love
Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of -
He's a good lad.
