Paper-Clip
Paper-clip on my floor,
I wonder what he's there for.
Holding all my life together.
That little guy's my friend forever.
Fixing fender-benders ending
Up inside my mind.
Little friend, you're very shiny
Even though you're oh so tiny,
I can tell you're mine.
Silly piece of wire,
Paper-clip, you never tire,
Holding all my thoughts together.
Here I find you, on my floor.
Tell me what you lay there for.
Maybe I should pick you up;
You don't belong; you know enough
To stay off my carpet, dear.
I see you, for I'm laying here.
I see you sitting, bent around;
I see you 'cause I'm on the ground.
Something 'bout you caught my eye;
You really are a funny guy.
Lay there on my floor so still;
I bet you'd sit there longer still,
If I decide to leave you be.
How 'bout I'm you
And you be me.
Paper-clip, on my floor,
I'll never know what you're there for.
