Aching To Sneeze
Crash Test Dummies · Give Yourself A Hand
Begging please, pretty please
But I can't get the thing to come out
I've been down on my knees
I've been pissing on trees
But the evil thing just won't come out
Come on out, my pretty baby
Relieve me of my burden, little baby
Come on out, my pretty baby
I've been waking at dawn
With the big bird on
And I can't make the thing go away
I've been throwing up drinks
In the toilets and sinks
But it just sticks around anyway
Come on out, my pretty baby
Relieve me of my burden, little baby
Come on out, my pretty baby
I've been waking at dawn
With a fever going on
And a stain that just won't wash away
I've got nothing to hide
It's just something inside
That keeps coming back, day after day
Come on out, my pretty baby
Relieve me of my burden, little baby
Come on out, my pretty baby, oh yeah
My pretty baby, yeah
My pretty baby
