"One name that walks right by my door today,
That man, man, walks right by my door today,
No let up. Just get goin' on his way.

Always thinking I can't hold on much more.
I can't hold on much more,
Seems like everyday I love you more than the day before.

You've been gone two years. I hope it ain't a gonna be two years more,
I need lovin bad, I'm keeping' mine in store.

Yea, when you come home I'm gonna lock you up baby like I did before, in a small pad up the California shore. And tell them all you've gone...

And lock this door and throw away the keys."

Laurindo Almeida, including "Bad and the Beautiful."
