Lyrics:

A successful operation
I cut my conscience loose for a while

Was no ticklish situation
The girl just made me smile

She said she didn't love me
I said I didn't care

Then I became entangled
In Della's long brown hair

She said she didn't hate me
She just had another man

But I would not be denied
She soon gave in to my demand

And loving makes loving
And she seemed learnt to care

And she let it down around me
Della's long brown hair

Well, the time before the last
Is the sweetest time, you know

And I stayed till it was past time
Knew I had to say goodbye and go

Then I kissed her for the last time
She was leanin' down the stairs

And I felt it fall around me
Della's long brown hair

I still feel it fall around me
Della's long brown hair
