Roly Poly Lyrics - Terence Trent Darby

Your dangerous charm and your 

Glamorous arrogance thrilled me 

In the melancholy winter time 

(Uncle Bill please give me time) 

But this war of attrition 

To prove your world ambition 

Worries me 

And you're too concerned with the 

Weight you want to lose 

Well if you listen to confusion 

Long enough it starts to make sense 

Can you hear me talking to ya? 

Roly Poly 

Holy Holy 

Time is tight 

Get it right 

Aren't you lonely? 

Roly Poly 

Holy Holy 

Time is tight 

Get it right 

Aren't you lonely? 

Your fatalist's closet 

Where blood stained deposits hide deeply 

Underneath the cusp of Venus fly 

A terrible beauty 

You are my dear of 

Aphrodisiacs and diamonds 

But your lonely tears trail 

Your penis envy eyes 

And now stop worrying about your 

Weight it looks alright to me dear 

Can you hear me talking to ya? 

Roly Poly 

Holy Holy 

Time is tight 

Get it right 

Aren't you lonely? 

Roly Poly 

Holy Holy 

Time is tight 

Get it right 

Aren't you lonely? 

All your somethings 

Are turning into nothings 

As you reach for 

Something greed inspired 

And all the hopes that 

I once held as your Lover 

Are falling down as 

My manhood loses fire 

Your kinship with money 

A Queen Bee with honey 

Suits you 

As you now belong to the ever 

Changing guard 

A signpost for progress 

A fine token lioness 

Leaves me 

'Cause as you say dear I'm just a 

Face without a card 

Well if you listen to confusion 

Long enough it starts to make sense 

Can you hear me talking to ya? 

Roly Poly 

Holy Holy 

Time is tight 

Get it right 

Aren't you lonely? 

Roly Poly 

Holy Holy 

Time is tight 

Get it right 

Aren't you lonely?
