With a Pen in Hand Lyrics by Arlene Harden

What Can I Say

1968

[Verse 1]
With pen in hand you sign your name
Today at five I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and I will be alone
So alone
[Verse 2]
If you think we can't find the love we once knew
If you think I can't make everything up to you
Then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own
[Verse 3]
Can you take good care of Tammy?
Can you take her to school everyday?
Can you teach her how to play all the games that little girls play?
Hear what I say
[Verse 4]
Can you teach her how to roll her hair?
Can you make sure each night that she says her prayеrs?
If you can do these things then maybе she won't miss me
Maybe she won't miss me
[Verse 5]
And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed
And you look at the pillow where I layed my head
And with your heart on fire will you have no desire to kiss me
And to hold me?
[Verse 6]
And if you can forget the good times we had
If you think that the good times don't outweigh the bad
Then sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way
