Breathless from the coffee I drop my newspaper down
And left my eyeballs to read about some other town
Your blueberry flu and message at breakfast was nice
But when you shoot your mouth off expect to pay the price
She's a tangerine
Made in California
She's a soul fillet
Just a little haiku
To say how much I like you
And sap your sex away
Your tarpaper skin and visible beating heart
Your words on the paper sure gave me a start
Your huckleberry flu and one plus one is you
So if I can't be me, well I might as well be with you
She's a tangerine
Made in California
Need a soul fillet
Baby cry your eyes out
Baby dry your eyes out
Burn your life away
When the day came to an end you bounced right back again
Watch an evening news show the L.A. blues again
Your California sunshine sure gives me a sweat
And your tangerine nectar's a taste I won't forget
She's a tangerine
Made in California
She's a soul fillet
??? cry your eyes out
Sister dry your eyes out
Burn your life away
It's just a little Haiku
To say how much I like you
It's just a little Haiku
To say how much I like you
It's just a little HaikuWhy did you have to forsake me
Couldn't you tell me goodbye
I've been waking up lately with tears in my eyes
Love ain't worth making, when it makes you the fool
A chance ain't worth taking
My heart is breaking
When she's holding you
You don't know how happy you made me
Couldn't you give it one more try
I know her arms are waiting to hold you tonight
Love ain't worth making, when it makes you the fool
A chance ain't worth taking
My heart is breaking
When she's holding you
So go on and pack up what's left
Of all that we shared
You're leaving me lonely tonight
Love ain't worth making, when it makes you the fool
A chance ain't worth taking
My heart is breaking
When she's holding you
