Roly Poly Lyrics by Terence Trent D'arby

Roly Poly Lyrics

    Your dangerous charm and your
    Glamorous arrogance thrilled me
    In the melancholy winter time
    (uncle bill please give me time)

    But this war of attrition
    To prove your world ambition
    Worries me
    And you're too concerned with the
    Weight you want to lose

    Well if you listen to confusion
    Long enough it starts to make sense
    Can you hear me talking to ya?

    Roly poly
    Holy holy
    Time is tight
    Get it right
    Aren't you lonely?
    Roly poly
    Holy holy
    Time is tight
    Get it right
    Aren't you lonely?

    Your fatalist's closet
    Where blood stained deposits hide deeply
    Underneath the cusp of venus fly

    A terrible beauty
    You are my dear of
    Aphrodisiacs and diamonds
    But your lonely tears trail
    Your penis envy eyes

    And now stop worrying about your
    Weight it looks alright to me dear
    Can you hear me talking to ya?

    Roly poly
    Holy holy
    Time is tight
    Get it right
    Aren't you lonely?
    Roly poly
    Holy holy
    Time is tight
    Get it right
    Aren't you lonely?

    All your somethings
    Are turning into nothings
    As you reach for
    Something greed inspired
    And all the hopes that
    I once held as your lover
    Are falling down as
    My manhood loses fire

    Your kinship with money
    A queen bee with honey
    Suits you
    As you now belong to the ever
    Changing guard
    A signpost for progress
    A fine token lioness
    Leaves me
    'cause as you say dear i'm just a
    Face without a card

    Well if you listen to confusion
    Long enough it starts to make sense
    Can you hear me talking to ya?

    Roly poly
    Holy holy
    Time is tight
    Get it right
    Aren't you lonely?
    Roly poly
    Holy holy
    Time is tight
    Get it right
    Aren't you lonely?
