Lucy won't you come out of bed
I know you miss our love
It makes you sleepy and sad
Lucy aren't you scared of mediocrity
Just like me
Lucy you know you're driving me mad
Your smile is so much better than the one
Here in my magazine and I do agree
We put up with too much apathy
Lucy I need you to be a man
Be a man lucy I mean it well
Lucy I need you to be a man
You can't be a girl right now
But you can be a girl again
Lucy I wrote you many-a-song
You are the girl of my dreams
You are my dream of a girl
Lucy oh the way you move to new york wave
Put on your ballet shoes
And wipe those tears away
You're so much better than all the dolls
In my magazines and I do agree that we
Put up with too much apathy
Lucy I need you to be a man
Be a man lucy I mean it well
Lucy I need you to be a man
You can't be a girl right now
But you can be a girl again
Your smile is so much better than the one
Here in my magazine and I do agree
We put up with too much apathy
Won't you turn into a girl again
I need you to be a man
Be a man lucy I mean it well
Lucy I need you to be a man
Be a man lucy I mean it well
Lucy I need you to be a man
You can't be a girl
Not right now
