Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somebody told me
I know where to go
Somebody showed me
I was last to know
[PreChorus]
Sail me down the river
Sail me down the river
Sail me down the river
Sail me down the river
[Chorus]
What I wanted
Is what I wanted
What I wanted
Is what she wanted
[Verse 2]
Unfriendly feelings
Down on wounded knees
Unfriendly reasons
Some blind mother's need
[PreChorus]
Sail me down the river
Sail me down the river
Sail me down the river
Sail me down the river
[Chorus]
What I wanted
Is what we wanted
What we wanted
Is what she wanted
[Bridge]
You read the words
And it sells you life
They sell their words
But it's all a lie
[Verse 3]
Somebody told me
I know where to go
Somebody showed me
I was last to know
[PreChorus]
Sail me down the river
Sail me down the river
Sail me down the river
Sail me down the river
[Chorus]
What I wanted
Is what I wanted
What we wanted
Is what we wanted
[Chorus]
What I wanted
Is what I wanted
What we wanted
Is what she wanted
[Verse 4]
The second album
Twelve precious melodies
Worth listening
Hope you enjoy them
Like if it's sung to me
[Chorus]
Listen to twelve great tunes
Playing on your stereo
Dining and dancing too
Entertain on the piano
[Verse 5]
The second album
Twelve gracious melodies to listen
Include this number
Keeping you company
[Chorus]
Well, getting on the record soon
Grooving on an afternoon
That's on my album too
[Verse 6]
This album cover
Looks similar like Johnny Mathis
For Mathis lovers
This album has his style
[Chorus]
Beautiful numbers are
Heard on the car radio
After all records are
Cut in the recording studio
[Verse 7]
My second album
One dozen melodies to listen
Include this number
Keeping in company
[Chorus]
Well, hoping that this record sells
Singing by our wishing well
That's on my album too
[Outro]
The second album
