Only you can hear my soul serenade

I want to be free to fly away and sing to the world
About my soul serenade!
Sing about my soul serenade, yeah

When you're not around, there's a lonely sound
In my soul serenade, yeah
In my soul serenade, yeah

Everyone but you adores me
But can I tell you that pretty soon they bore me, yes they do
Can I tell you right now that they bore me, ah yeah
They bore me with those pretty little words
Those pretty little words of devotion, yeah
But, oh, let me leave 'em waiting this evening
That they can jump in anybody's ocean, yeah
Because only you hear my soul, hear my soul serenade
I'm talking about my serenade, yeah, yes it is
This is my soul serenade
I'm singing about my serenade, yeah yeah
I'm talking about my serenade, yeah
My soul serenade, yeah
My soul serenade, yeah
