Ben Folds Because The Origami
Because the Origami didn't work We gave you dancing lessons Because the dancing lessons made you bored We bought you a guitar
Because you said it made your fingers sore We found you a pony Because the pony broke your leg and ran away We got you drums
But the drums annoyed our neighbours so We gave you cooking lessons And the cooking lessons made you fat We bought you running shoes
If you hear this please We love you Tommy We know it never was about Origami
Because you took the shoes and ran away We gave them your description Now we haven't heard a thing in weeks
Because we don't know where you are We're putting out this song Because we think that you might hear And know where you belong So what did we do wrong?
If you hear this please we love you Tommy Please come home we've left your room Exactly Exactly
And if you ever hear this song Know we send our love Take your origami skills And make a paper dove Send a message home We promise not to teach you We don't care what you've done We hope that this will reach you..
If you hear this, please We love you Tommy We won't ask you anything We won't be angry
