i was with someone i shouldn t be with

the last verse is in reference to my good friend bruce horak, who lost one eye as a baby from retinal blastoma, and retained only 10% vision in the remaining eye.

lyrics

here sit i under cloudy sky
one star peeks through venetian blinds
i'll sing you a song but it feels so wrong
cuz you can t be here though you re on my mind

so here it goes it starts at your toes
slides up your shins your thighs and your hips
the tender taste then up to your waist
your bosom your heart, but stops at your lips

cuz you re 90% woman and 10% mine
if you were a dollar you d love me a dime
you promised you re his til the end of time
so you re 90% woman and 10% mine

well mathematics wasn t my best subject
so sometimes i think that there s more of you here
you tell me again that we re more than friends
but less than a lover is what i hear

cuz you re 90% woman and 10% mine
if you were a dollar you d love me a dime
you promised you re his til the end of time
so you re 90% woman and 10% mine

well i got a friend with a glass in his head
cuz he lost one eye when he was a lad
just 10% vision in the other eye
but he sees so much more than the average man

so you re 90% woman and 10% mine
if that s all i get well it suits me just fine
cuz i m a luckier guy than the fellows in line
for the 10% of you that you say is mine
