"Do Ya?"
by Andrew Delaney

I'd never buy you a puppy
To fret about when you leave town
But I may write you a love song, girl
That would follow you around
Like that string of sad-eyed poets
With their hearts all hangin' out
Cause you don't need a thing that needs you
Not another thing that needs you, do ya?

I could question your devotion
Really put you to the test
Hand you a loaded pistol
Set an apple on my head
Then read you Billy Burroughs
Just to see what happens next
But you don't need a thing that needs you
Not another thing that needs you, do ya?

So, I'll say the words and mean it best I can
Then I'll be waitin' right here
I'll be waitin' right here where I am

I'd never buy you a puppy
To fret about when you leave town
But I may write you a love song
That'd follow you around
To keep you warm when you get lonely
To pick you up when you get down
Cause you don't need a thing that needs you
Not another thing that needs you, do ya?

You don't need a thing that needs you
Not anymore than I do, do ya?
