All To Myself

I'd start with the boys that hang at the pier
 Like bats in the night get tangled in your hair
 I'd take away the weekend shore leave lovers
 That flood the ports with drunken tales of far away
 I'd take away the Eiffel tower
 I'd take away the port of Spain
 I'll take your yellow coat
 No more romantic walks in the pouring rain
 Then I'd make washboard, wind-blown
 Sea-side, serenading, prep school boys disappear
 That flock in the summer like gulls to the beach
 And pick at your heart like the garbage on the street
 I'll take away all the things
 That make you look away from me
 I'd take away everything
 Then I'd have you all to myself
 I'd take away the guy with the monkey wrench smile
 He'll steal your heart away and make a Minnesota mile
 Like a corner store crook on a prison break
 Or a porno queen in a party cake
 I'd take away the Spanish steps
 I'd take away the Golden Gate
 I'll take away everything
 Just to have you all to myself
 All to myself, yeah
 I never thought it'd get this bad inside of me
 I never thought that I'd be so consumed with jealousy
 I need you every night and every day in bed
 These thoughts keep spinning in my head
 Then I'd make the big screen, battle-scarred
 Bold-faced, leading man lone star heroes disappear
 That fill your heart with thoughts of being swept away
 But that's a part a man like me could never play
 I'll take away all the things
 That make you look away from me
 I'd take away everything
 Just to have you all to myself
 All to myself
 Oh let's make it funky guys
 Yeah, I know you can do it
 James, James, oh yeah
 Bass, oh yeah
 Do you, do you like it? Yeah
