10,000 Maniacs - Cotton Alley lyrics

One time You made me cry Be proud that I Remember My chin is sore The bruise is gone But the spot is tender Gave my hand a sister coy To Cotton Alley where You did enjoy Your wicked games You curious boy Tied my laces up together When I fell You laughed Until your belly was sore In the brick laid aisle behind The five and dime store That's how I made you blush But doubt if you Remember Were my tears genuine Or those of a sk**ed Pretender Nothing precious Plain to see Don't make a fuss over me Not loud Not soft But somewhere in between Say sorry Let it be The word you mean I was a little pest who Never took a hint Could never Take a hint You pinched my fingers In a door Tossed my coloring book in a Rusty barrel Pulled spiders from my hair Fingers in the door My favorite blue blouse Stained on the back Running from a berry war Can you hear me scream In Cotton Alley Scream in Cotton Alley In Cotton Alley
