Because The Origami lyrics - Ben Folds (with 8in8)

Because the origami didn't work

We gave you dancing lessons

Because the dancing lessons made you bored

We bought you a guitar

Because you said it made your fingers sore

We found you a pony

Because the pony broke your leg and ran away

We got you drums

But the drums annoyed our neighbours so

We gave you cooking lessons

And the cooking lessons made you fat

We bought you running shoes

If you hear this

Please

We love you Tommy

We know it never was

About origami

Because you took the shoes and ran away

We gave them your description

Now we haven't heard a thing in weeks

Because we don't know where you are

We're putting out this song

Because we think that you might hear

And know where you belong

So what did we do wrong?

If you hear this

Please

We love you Tommy

Please come home we've

Left your room

Exactly

Exactly

And if you ever hear this song

Know we send our love

Take your origami skills

And make a paper dove

Send a message home

We promise not to teach you

We don't care what you've done

We hope that this will reach you

If you hear this

Please

We love you Tommy

We won't ask you

Anything

We won't be angry
