I was sittin there, I had a comfortable chair and that was all that I needed.And my friend offered me a drink for us to share and that was all that I needed.Then I felt at ease, but then I'm not too hard to please, I guess you couldn't call me greedy.I was shocked to look up and see Rita Haywood there in a place so seedy.She walked into the bar with her long red curly curly hair and that was all that I neededAnd I said to my friend, Good God we're lucky men, just to even see her!Take, Take, TakeTake, Take, TakeTake, Take, TakeAnd I could not resist, I just had to get close to her and that was all that I needed.I walked and loomed around her table for awhile and that was all that I needed.I said, I hate to bug ya' ma'am, but can I have your autograph? and that was all that I needed.She pressed her lips against the white piece of paper and that was all that I needed.Then I saw what she wrote, My heart is in my mouth, and that was all that I needed.Then she handed it to me and I think that she could see that it was all thatI need.I started to walk away then I remembered hey, i forgot to get her picture.So I asked her one more time, Can I have another favor? and that was all that I needed.She was kind to pose with me, then I knew my friends would see my celebrity meeting.Take, Take, TakeTake, Take, TakeTake, Take, TakeThen she said, I need to go to sleep, and it seems so mean.It's almost as if she did not appreciate how cool I was being.She said good night and walked away, I didn't know what to say, I just couldn't believe it.Well it's just not fair, I wanna get a piece of hair and that was all that I needed.Well maybe just a kiss on the cheek, I wouldn't wash it for a week, that would be all that I needed.Well she didn't even care, that I was even there with a hole of a feeling.
