queen of the bees

Jack White

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 want to hold you, like a sloth hugs a tree
Cause I crave you, like a 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 want to 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
