John Prine - Just Wanna Be With You lyrics

I got an airplane ticket

And my shirt is stickin' out of my jeans

You got me painted in the corner

Where I'm livin' way beyond my means

Outside my window

A bird once flew

Now I don't even care

What kind of gum I chew

And oh baby

I just wanna be with you

Well I don't wanna wash the dishes

But I'm wishin' I could wash my hair

You been on my mind so long

You must livin' up there

Well it's up to the circus

And down to the zoo

The monkey's lookin' at me

Like I'm lookin' at you

And oh baby

I just wanna be with you

I don't wanna go to London

To visit the Queen

She don't like my english

If you know what I mean

Don't wanna walk around

Like I got nothin' to do

Uh uh baby wanna be with you

Uh uh baby wanna be with you

Well I was cleaning out my wallet

While I'm sittin' on my livin' room rug

I was lookin' at the numbers of the women

That I thought I dug

There was one that begged

One that teased

One God blessed me

Every time I sneezed

But oh baby

I just wanna be with you

Bridge:

I wanna be with you

When there ain't no love

When the banks all close

With the stars above

Lonely won't be lonesome

When we get through

And uh uh baby wanna be with you

Uh uh baby wanna be with you
