(blank) Lyrics - The Cootees

Me and Tom sat down one night, our goal was to write a song 

We didn't want it to be too short but we didn't want it too long 

We can write about politics, we can write about the world 

We can write about ourselves, we can write it about girls 

But what went through our heads was to write about this song instead 

Tom picked up his guitar and he started playing a tune 

Some words went through my head and I started singing them too 

We can write about our friends, we can write about being blue 

We can write about something else, we can write about being without you 

But what went through our heads was to write about this song instead
