Lyrics
Chorus.
No, I won't, I don't think I'll let you,
just because I know I can get you--
Any time--and place, that I want to,
don't you know that I'm not attain-able,
only when--you lay me on sable, so --
Verse 1. So your guitar can take me to heaven,
lift me up higher, strings playing seven,
we love to exhaustion, no one comes near to--
the sending, the ending, where we disappear to....
Chorus. No, I won't, I won't let you--
just because I know I can get you,
any time, and place that I want to.
Don't you know that I'm not attainable,
only when--you lay me on sable, so --
Verse 2. Your strumming and playing might lead to me to bedrooms,
where notches on bedposts won't leave us much headroom,
love to exhaustion with both of us sleeping,
don't know if we're crazy for laughing and weeping.
Chorus. No, I won't, I won't let you,
just because I know I can get you,
anywhere, and time that I want to.
Don't you know that I'm not attainable,
only when--you lay me on sable, so --
Verse 3. There are some nights and mornings
when we both linger,
have I wrapped you round my little finger,
we don't wear rings, break each others' hearts--so
we'll always come back because we can part......
Chorus. No, I won't, I won't let you--
just because I know I can get you,
Any time and place that I want to.
Don't you know that I'm not attainable,
only when-- you lay me on sable, so.......
