Текст песни: Sixto Rodriguez. I Wonder.

I wonder how many times you've been had

And I wonder how many plans have gone bad

I wonder how many times you had sex

I wonder do you know who'll be next

I wonder l wonder wonder I do



I wonder about the love you can't find

And I wonder about the loneliness that's mine

I wonder how much going have you got

And I wonder about your friends that are not

I wonder I wonder I wonder I do



I wonder about the tears in children's eyes

And I wonder about the soldier that dies

I wonder will this hatred ever end

I wonder and worry my friend

I wonder I wonder wonder don't you?



I wonder how many times you been had

And I wonder how many dreams have gone bad

I wonder how many times you've had sex

And I wonder do you care who'll be next

I wonder I wonder wonder I do

2:32

And you measure for wealth by the things you can hold

And you measure for love by the sweet things you're told

And you live in the past or a dream that you're in

And your selfishness is your cardinal sin.



And you want to be held with highest regard

It delights you so much if he's trying so hard

And you try to conceal your ordinary ways

With a smile or a shrug or some stolen cliche.



'Cos emotionally you're the same basic trip

And you know that I know of the times that you've slipped

So don't try to impress me, you're just pins and paint

And don't try to charm me with things that you ain't.



And don't try to enchant me with your manner of dress

'Cos a monkey in silk is a monkey no less

So measure for measure reflect on my said



And when I won't see you then measure it dead.



'Cos don't you understand, and don't you look about

I'm trying to take nothing from you

So why should you act so put out for me?
