Hey Jack, I better shake it off
Put her out of my head
The thinking of all, just another young girl last night
Oh, brother, I left a woman
In that morning day
Been on that trip so many times
Good, God, was really yesterday
I've tried so many, many, many, many, many
Many ways
I've lied and taken off into the day
Leaving another girl to
Weep over the breakfast tray
Loved her before I knew her name
Hit me, Jack, 'cause I'm
Gone, love her way
Come back, my babe
Come back, my babe
Feel holy again, I gave her
I gave her (ooh, baby, baby)
(Ooh, baby) gotta give her
Ooh, baby, baby (ooh, baby)
That kind of love
Can only destroy, I gave her
I gave her (ooh, baby, baby)
(Ooh, baby) getting down
If I'm gonna be, the baby wants it (ooh, baby)
Gonna be me (it's gonna be me)
There was no rein to check me
When all those little things walked on by
Oh, but I couldn't even stammer out a word
When that angel's stuck in my mind
Ooh
Looking for love won't hold me back, no
I'm gonna love her way
Come back, my babe
Feel holy again
I gave her
(Ooh, baby) gotta give it love
Ooh, baby, baby (ooh, baby)
That kind of love
Can only destroy, I gave her
I gave her (ooh, baby, baby)
Gotta get it now, if I'm (ooh, baby)
Gonna be her baby (ooh, baby)
It's gonna be me, yeah (it's gonna be me)
Just playing that latest record
Waiting for the telephone to ring
Wiped-out and bitter with a
Bag clutched in her hand
All the cars sound like they're
Pulling in the drive
Mh, no, no, no
I see her now
A little tear running down her cheek
Laugh, let down
People looking for me
I want to race down her street
And knock hard, hard, hard on the door 'til
Until she breaks down into my arms like a
Treasured toy and I feel the pain
I'll be so strong again and again
Come back, my baby, yeah
I'm holy again
I'll take ya, ooh, baby, baby, baby (I'll take you)
(Ooh, baby) we're gonna have
Ooh, baby, baby (ooh, baby)
My kind of love
Can only bring you joy (brings joy)
I'm gonna, yeah, baby (I'm gonna)
Yeah, got far (ooh, baby)
Give you, baby, baby (ooh, baby)
'Cause it's gonna be me
It's gonna be me
Mmh (ooh)

Aaaand....my cheeks are red again. Bowie is once again sexing it up as has been the case throughout the entire YA album. Wow, such a hot album.
I get the feeling he is still having sex with multiple women, but there is a certain one who he feels especially strong about and when he realizes he may be messing up with these other women he needs to straighten up, and be good. "Come back my brain, i'm holy again".
Also I think the line is "Let's play that lastest record again".
I need a cigarette after listening to this album.....and I quit smoking....
