Oh, Wicked Witch


Oh Wicked Witch, How you play with my mind With a flick of your hair And a wink of your eye I'm right at your feet One day it's a "yes" And the next it's a "no" Please make up your mind Before you turn mine into That of a Scarecrow's. As time goes by You're becoming my Everything Everything You're my yellow brick road, You light my path and lead me on. And with every step I take, I'm going numb; all feeling is gone. You're becoming all I see, I'm going blind; my mind is fading. So let's stop now for a break here My legs have begun to ache, dear. Oh Wicked Witch, How you play with my heart You've shown that you liked me Right from the start But your words say differently Ripped out my heart With your right hand And with your left You pushed on my back to lie there Like the Tin Man As time goes by You're becoming my Everything Everything You're my yellow brick road, You light my path and lead me on. And with every step I take, I'm going numb; all feeling is gone. You're becoming all I see, I'm going blind; my mind is fading. So let's stop now for a break here My legs have begun to ache, dear. I'm not the spineless lion I'll tell you to your face It doesn't make much sense to me How your actions and words are in Two different places What hurts the most, Is what I don't understand It's that I still love you With all that I am With all that I am You're my yellow brick road, You light my path and lead me on. And with every step I take, I'm going numb; all feeling is gone. You're becoming all I see, I'm going blind; my mind is fading. So let's stop now for a break here My legs have begun to ache, dear.
