All Buttoned Up Lyrics - Still - Richard Thompson

I got a girl - best girl in the world 

But she won't give me a taste of it 

Saving her bed - maidenhead 

That's what I call a waste of it 

Crosses her arms - to hide all her charms 

Like she's living in a nunnery 

Gives me a wink - drive me to drink 

I know she's only making fun of me 

She's All Buttoned Up 

All Buttoned Up, no place to go 

She don't mind a squeeze - if I say please 

I might even manage a kiss of her 

But I'll get a slap - if I sit her on my lap 

I call that so remiss of her 

She's All Buttoned Up 

All Buttoned Up, no place to go 

She hates the stuff I bring her 

She wants diamonds on her finger 

She wouldn't let me in 

Frothing at the mouth and barking 

On all fours like Rin Tin Tin 

My girl Kate - she wants me to wait 

But I got urges, don't I? 

I got desires - raging fires 

But I'll do the right thing, won't I? 

She's All Buttoned Up 

All Buttoned Up, no place to go 

She changes with the weather 

She keeps her knees together 

But she dresses so racy 

Drawing Man into temptation 

With everything silky, satiny, lacy 

I got a girl - best girl in the world 

But she won't give me a taste of it 

Saving her bed - maidenhead 

That's what I call a waste of it 

She's All Buttoned Up 

All Buttoned Up, no place to go 

She's All Buttoned Up 

All Buttoned Up, no place to go
