Paikin's Song

Oh What Say I

Oh what say I
Well though you married be
You clearly came to feel
Something for my lady
Which I nay not liked
So I would have come
To tell you no
She's with me

Only now I'll be gone
Maybe never to return
Thus I say to you
Do as you will

I love my wife
And have no eyes
For any other
And would think that Lisa
Would take offence
That you suggested
She wanted me

Whatever so it is
You say here now
I am leaving far away
So it matters not I say
When I don't think
I'll be back again

So you are leaving
The woman you love
And you come to me
The man you think
Is wanting her
To tell him this

Are you just daft
Or are you sick
Either way
You're a fool today

I have no other choice
My life is leading me
On another path
So I go for reason's best
Something that you should think you of
When you decide
Between your wife you love
And Lisa who you long you for
