Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground (03:03)
The White Stripes • White Blood Cells
Dead leaves and the dirty ground,
When I know you're not around.
Shiny tops and soda pops,
When I hear your lips make a sound.
When I hear your lips make a sound.

Thirty notes in the mailbox,
Will tell you that I'm coming home.
And I think I'm gonna stick around,
For a while so you're not alone.
For a while so you're not alone.

If you can hear a piano fall,
You can hear me coming down the hall.
If I could just hear your pretty voice,
I don't think I need to see at all.
I don't think I need to see at all.

Soft hair and a velvet tongue,
I want to give you what you give to me.
And every breath that is in your lungs,
Is a tiny little gift to me.
Is a tiny little gift to me.

I didn't feel so bad till the sun went down,
Then I come home, no one to wrap my arms around.
Wraps my arms around.

Well, any man with a microphone,
Can tell you what he loves the most.
And you know why you love at all,
If you're thinking of the holy ghost.
If you're thinking of the holy ghost.

Hotel Yorba (02:12)
The White Stripes • White Blood Cells
I was watching with one eye on the other side,
I had fifteen people tellin' me to move,
I got movin' on my mind.
I found shelter in some thoughts turning wheels around.
I said 39 times that I love you to the beauty I had found.

Well, it's 1-2-3-4,
Take the elevator at the Hotel Yorba,
I'll be glad to see you later.
All they got inside is vacancy.

I've been thinking of a little place down by the lake.
They got a dirty old road leading up to the house,
I wonder how long it will take 'till we're alone,
Sitting on the front porch of that home,
Stompin' our feet on the wooden boards,
Never gotta worry 'bout locking the door.

Well, it's 1-2-3-4,
Take the elevator at the Hotel Yorba,
I'll be glad to see you later.
All they got inside is vacancy.

It might sound silly for me to think childish thoughts like these,
But I'm so tired of acting tough,
And I'm gonna do what I please.
Let's get married in a big cathedral by a priest,
Cause if I'm the man that you love the most,
You could say "I do" at least.

Well, it's 1-2-3-4,
Take the elevator at the Hotel Yorba,
I'll be glad to see you later.
All they got inside is vacancy.

And it's 4-5-6-7,
Grab your umbrella and grab hold of me 'cause I'm your favorite fella.
All they got inside is vacancy.

I'm Finding It Harder to Be a Gentleman (02:55)
The White Stripes • White Blood Cells
Well, I'm finding it harder to be a gentleman every day.
All the manners that I've been taught have slowly died away.
But if I held the door open for you, it wouldn't make your day.

You think that I care about me and only me,
When every single girl needs help climbing up a tree.
Well, I know it don't take much to satisfy me.

Maybe it's whatever's in my head that distracting me,
But if I could find emotion to stimulate devotion,
Well, then you'd see.

Well, I'm finding it hard to say that I need you twenty times a day.
I feel comfortable so, baby, why don't you feel the same?
Have a doctor come and visit us and tell us which one is sane.

I never said I wouldn't throw my jacket in the mud for you,
But my father gave it to me, so maybe I should carry you.
Then you said "You almost dropped me", so then I did,
And I got mud on my shoes.

Expecting (02:05)
The White Stripes • White Blood Cells
Your mouth said this never,
But your fingers have shown me,
That your head is so clever,
You claim that you own me forever.

You have the right to conduct me in whatever fashion,
Your attempt to construct me in the interest of passion,
You sent me to Toledo.

I came back from handfuls,
I did what you asked me,
But after the thank you's,
That you quickly got passed me,
I'm expected, you're expecting.
I'm expected, expected.

Little Room (00:52)
The White Stripes • White Blood Cells
Well, you're in your little room,
and you're working on something good.
But if it's really good,
you're gonna need a bigger room.

And when you're in the bigger room,
you might not know what to do.
You might have to think of, how you got started,
sitting in your little room.

The Union Forever (03:27)
The White Stripes • White Blood Cells
It can't be love, for there is no true love.
It can't be love, for there is no true love.
Sure, I'm C.F.K, but you gotta love me.
The cost no man can say, but you gotta love me.

Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in gold mines,
Oil wells, shipping or real estate.
What would I liked to have been?
Everything you hate.

There is a man, a certain man,
And for the poor, you may be sure that he'll do all he can.
Who is this one?
Whose favorite son?
Just by his action, has the traction magnets on the run.
Who likes to smoke, enjoys a joke,
And wouldn't get a bit upset if he were a really broke?
With wealth and fame, he's still the same.
I'll bet you five you're not alive if you don't know his name.

You said the union forever.
You said the union forever.
You cried the union forever,
But that was untrue, girl.

Cause it can't be love, for there is no true love.
It can't be love, for there is no true love.

We're Going to Be Friends (02:22)
The White Stripes • White Blood Cells
Fall is here, hear the yell,
Back to school, ring the bell,
Brand new shoes, walking blues,
Climb the fence, books and pens,
I can tell that we are gonna be friends.
I can tell that we are gonna be friends.

Walk with me, Suzy Lee,
Through the park and by the tree,
We will rest upon the ground,
And look at all the bugs we've found,
Safely walk to school without a sound.
Safely walk to school without a sound.

Here we are, no one else,
We walk to school all by ourselves,
There's dirt on our uniforms,
From chasing all the ants and worms,
We clean up and now it's time to learn.
We clean up and now it's time to learn.

Numbers, letters, learn to spell,
Nouns and books and show and tell,
At playtime, we will throw the ball,
Back to class, through the hall,
Teacher marks our height against the wall.
Teacher marks our height against the wall.

And we don't notice any time pass,
And we don't notice anything.
We sit side-by-side in every class.
Teacher thinks that I sound funny,
But she likes the way you sing.

Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed,
While silly thoughts go through my head,
About the bugs and alphabet,
And when I wake tomorrow,
I'll bet that you and I will walk together again.

Cause I can tell that we are gonna be friends.
Yes, I can tell that we are gonna be friends.

Offend in Every Way (03:07)
The White Stripes • White Blood Cells
I'm patient of this plan, as humble as I can.
I'll wait another day before I turn away.
But know this much is true, no matter what I do,
Offend in every way, I don't know what to say.

I'm coming through the door, but they're expecting more
Of an interesting man, sometimes I think I can
But how much can I fake ? I'll speak until I break
With every word I say, offend in every way.

You tell me to relax, and listen to these facts.
That everyone's my friend, and will be 'til the end.
But know this much is true, no matter what I do,
No matter what I say, offend in every way.

I Think I Smell a Rat (02:05)
The White Stripes • White Blood Cells
Oh, I think I smell a rat.
Oh, I think I smell a rat.
All you little kids seem to think you know just where it's at.
Oh, I think I smell a rat.
Walking down the street carrying a baseball bat.
Oh, I think i smell a rat.

Oh, I think I smell a rat.
Oh, I think I smell a rat.
All you little kids seem to think you know just where it's at.
Oh, I think I smell a rat.
Using your mother and father as a welcome mat.
Oh, I think I smell a rat.

Now Mary (01:48)
The White Stripes • White Blood Cells
Now Mary, can't you find a way to bring me down?
I'm so sorry that I had to go and let you down.
Knowing you, I'll think things are gonna be fine,
But then again, you'll probably change your mind.

I'm sorry, Mary, but being your mate,
Means trying to find something that you aren't going to hate.

What a season to be beautiful without a reason.
Knowing you, I'll think things are gonna be fine,
But then again, you'll probably change your mind.
Mary, can't you find a way to bring me down?

I Can Learn (03:30)
The White Stripes • White Blood Cells
I wish we were stuck up a tree,
Then we'd know it's nicer below.

I don't know any lullabys,
I don't know how to make you mine, but I can learn.
In lonely days long ago,
I saw lovers put on a show,
Well, now it's my turn.

Drive you home, and then wait by the phone for that call,
For a walk in the fall.

No harm will come of this,
One little midnight kiss, it will not burn.
For many lonely days,
I feel like a throw-away,
Well, now it's my turn.

Falling down is no longer around.
Feeling sun, I'm no longer one.
Well, isn't this fun?

This Protector (02:10)
The White Stripes • White Blood Cells
I never knew that I had to be this protector.
So many thoughts inside my head, a strange collector.
But now, now,
You thought you heard a sound,
There's no one else around,
Looking at the door,
It's coming through the floor.

300 people living out in West Virginia,
Have no idea of all these thoughts that lie within you,
But now...
Now...
