Lyrics

Dear marion, as I write this down—
Dear marion, I just make the bed then I need
To go lie down
But baby knows that I love to cry
Over every little thing
I just sweep the yard and wait
For the whole world to change
…Any minute now

From across the room she mouths words
So I can see—
Says, "who's edgar bergen?"
And I say, "don't start with me.."
But baby knows that I love to cry
Over every little thing
I just sit up on her knee and wait
For the whole world to change
…Any minute now

That bird of yours, he just bit me
And all I said was "hello,"
All I did was, I answered him
And sort of shook his foot, you know
But baby knows that I love to cry
Over every little thing
God knows, but even he must me waiting
For the whole world to change
…Any minute now
Any minute now
Any minute now
