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
Nowhere near the windows
Only where nobody knows
Yeah, only in the shadows
I know because she told me so
So, listen mother, mother
Hey mother, stop your nagging
'Cause you know it doesn't matter to me, no, no, 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
Nowhere near the windows
Only where nobody knows
Yeah, only in the shadows
I know because she told me so
I know because she told me so
I know because she told me so
I know because she told me so
I know because she told me so (told me so)
I know because she told me so (told me so)
I know because she told me so (told me so)
I know because she told me so (told me so)
I know because she told me so (told me so)
I know because she told me so (told me so)
I know because she told me so (told me so)
I know because she told me so (told me so)
I know because she told me so (told me so)
