Climb Your Wall

The Kinks · Other Songs - The Kinks

One time I saw you in the street

Thought that I would be that kind you want

Ooh babe, you're the best of them all



I'm trying to tell you how much I love you

Oh baby, please let me climb your wall

Ooh baby, you're the best of them all



Then in the dawn I'll be leavin'

[? ]

Ooh babe, that's the strength of it all



Come on over, and see [? ]

And let me crawl around on your floor

Ooh babe, that's the strength of it all



I'm trying to tell you how much I love you

Oh baby, let me climb your wall

Ooh baby, that's the strength of it all



I see that I lied, neglected you badly

'cause you are that one light that's [? ] me blind



All alone I've tried to see

Then you agree, let me climb your wall

Ooh baby, you're the best of them all



C'mon sweety, come over here

Let me please, [? ] let me climb your wall

That's the strength of it all



I'm trying to tell you how much I love you

Oh baby, let me climb your wall

Ooh baby, you're the best of them all
