Don't Put Him Down-Dory Previn

Don't Put Him Down - Dory Previn Oh babe He loves you But he just can't make it with you And he just can't tell you it's true How can he pass the test When he just can't hardly move himself Let alone prove himself the best Oh babe He wants you But he just can't get it on as you planned And i guess a girl just can't understand How much a guy goes through All she has to do is let herself She doesn't have to get herself up On cue Like a performing seal In a zoo How was last night's Performance babe? Was it better than The night before? Are the old credentials Any good any good any good any more Or is the act beginning to bore you? He can sing! He can dance! He can juggle! He a regular one-man band His costume's a little tattered His label says Made in japan But he beats his battered drum And he rattles his empty can And he somehow gets His flag to fly Looka him Looka him He's a man! Oh babe Inside him It's like there's a Little kid in a jail Crying denying he's fragile and frail Hey looka him He's a male But it's the wail Of the weary minstrel It's the dance Of the desperate clown Singing Don't put Don't put me down If i fail Please babe Don't put me down If i fail
