Balisong, sweet balisong I’m gonna keep her in my pocket Till the right time comes along I got my balisong in my pocket so long And when I need her don’t you know She’s gonna sing that sweet song
Listen mother, mother Hey mother, stop your nagging ‘Cause you know it doesn’t matter to me, no I don’t believe it when you say a word about my baby If it’s true, then only she could tell me so
I said, “No!” You know you lost her, now she’s with somebody new Playin’ with someone in the shadows Runnin’ with the shadows
Butterfly, sharp butterfly She might be pretty, but be warned That when she cuts, she makes ’em cry I got my butterfly, always hiding by my side And if you need her, don’t you know She’ll shine her way into your eyes
So, listen brother, brother Hey brother, stop your bragging ‘Cause you know it doesn’t matter to me, no I don’t believe it when you say a word about my baby If it’s true, then only she could tell me so
I said, “No!” You know you lost her, now she’s with somebody new Playin’ with someone in the shadows Runnin’ with the shadows
No one in the windows Only where nobody knows Yeah, only in the shadows I know because she told me so
