Jack White - Queen Of The Bees

I feel lonely
When I'm left all alone
I feel homely
When you leave me at home
And the witchcraft
That you're putting on me
Is a patch on a raft that is far out to sea

Pass me the bread and the brown sugar cubes
And I'll butter your toast while you take off your shoes
The coffee is warm, but it's not too good
Or maybe it's misunderstood like me
Oh honey, can't you see

I wanna hold you
Like a sloth hugs a tree
'Cause I crave you
Like the glass needs wine
But I'm worried
That I'm wasting your time

Let's take a stroll
To the end of the street
Put your hand in my pocket
So the neighbors can see I want them to see
I want them to see, oh lord, let them see

You can buzz all you want
They don't hear you like me
I'm a fly on the wall
And you're the queen of the bees

Pass me the bread and the green tea leaves
I'll butter your toast
While you're taking it easy
My tea needs honey, 'cause it's not so good
And who cares if I'm misunderstood

'Cause I love you
Like my mother loves me
I wanna hold you
Like an ant climbs a tree
Let's take a stroll
To the end of the street
I'm a fly on the wall
And you're the queen of the bees
