About Love You Till Tuesday

"Love You till Tuesday" is a song written and performed by David Bowie. The first version of the song, recorded in February 1967, was included on Bowie's debut album. A second version, released as a single, was recorded on 3 June 1967 and released on 14 July 1967. The single garnered good notices from the music press but, like his earlier singles, failed to break into the British charts. It was his final new release for Deram Records. Bowie's 1969 showpiece film Love You till Tuesday took its name from the song, which also featured over the opening credits.

Just look through your window, look who sits outside
Little me is waiting, standing through the night
When you walk out through your door I'll wave my flag and shout

Oh, beautiful baby
My burning desire started on Sunday
Give me your heart and I'll love you till Tuesday

Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb

Who's that hiding in the apple tree, clinging to a branch
Don't be afraid it's only me, hoping for a little romance
If you lie beneath my shade, I'll keep you nice and cool

Oh, beautiful baby
I was very lonely till I met you on Sunday
My passion's never-ending and I'll love you till Tuesday

Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb

Let the wind blow through your hair, be nice to the big blue sea
Don't be afraid of the man in the moon, because it's only me
I shall always watch you until my love runs dry

Ohh, beautiful baby
My heart's aflame, I'll love you till Tuesday
My head's in a whirl and I'll love you till Tuesday
Love, love, love, love you till Tuesday
Love, love, love, love you till Tuesday

Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb
Da da da dumb

Well, I might stretch it till Wednesday
