I'm a student of human nature | |||
And all my lessons I have learned for free | |||
I held your little breast in my hand | |||
And I kept my eyes on your knee | |||
I was breathless when you crawled in the door | |||
And gasped when you sat on my lap | |||
Good-natured, I asked what you wanted | |||
And understood when you drew me the map | |||
And, of course, in the dark distant future | |||
When we meet again on the road of life | |||
When heavens part and roar with thunder | |||
Will we wonder if things turned out right? | |||
In the meantime, I am listening to a story | |||
About a salesman and somebody's daughter | |||
The story goes that the salesman learned his lesson | |||
And now he lives in the country like he oughta | |||
I laugh when someone tells a joke | |||
But I always keep my mind on you | |||
Or am I just a fool to believing | |||
That the map which you gave me was true? | |||
And, of course, in the dark distant future | |||
When we meet again on the road of life | |||
When the heavens part and roar with thunder | |||
Will we wonder if things turned out right? | |||
You parted your legs with a smile | |||
And I don't want to get you in Dutch | |||
But your skin it's so very, very creamy | |||
It's the skin I have been longing to touch | |||

Lyrics
I'm a student of human nature And all my lessons I have learned for free I held your little breast in my hand And I kept my eyes on your knee
I was breathless when you crawled in the door And gasped when you sat on my lap Good-natured, I asked what you wanted And understood when you drew me the map
And, of course, in the dark distant future When we meet again on the road of life When heavens part and roar with thunder Will we wonder if things turned out right?
In the meantime, I am listening to a story About a salesman and somebody's daughter The story goes that the salesman learned his lesson And now he lives in the country like he oughta
I laugh when someone tells a joke But I always keep my mind on you Or am I just a fool to believing That the map which you gave me was true?
And, of course, in the dark distant future When we meet again on the road of life When the heavens part and roar with thunder Will we wonder if things turned out right?
You parted your legs with a smile And I don't want to get you in Dutch But your skin it's so very, very creamy It's the skin I have been longing to touch
