[Verse 1]
If you tell a bad joke or whether you're broke
It doesn't really matter to me
You don't act your age and your mother's insane
But nothing good is coming for free
[Refrain]
I just wanna tell you when you're down on yourself
I won't be out lookin' 'round for nobody else
Benny, my dear, how's the view from up here?
[Verse 2]
When you were a kid, I know that you hid
From everything that you had around you
So I pulled you in and I know that it's been
Hard to have my love surround you
[Refrain]
I just wanna tell you when you're down on yourself
I won't be out lookin' 'round for nobody else
Benny, my dear, how's the view from up here?
[Chorus]
Ooh
Benny's on the mountaintop
Ooh
Benny's on the mountaintop
[Bridge]
Don't be afraid that you're gonna get hurt
If you're living that way, Benny, you'll never learn
For whatever it's worth, I know I touched a nerve
Don't be surprised by the love you deserve
[Chorus]
Ooh
Benny's on the mountaintop
Ooh
Benny's on the mountaintop
Ooh
Benny's on the mountaintop
Ooh
Benny's on the mountaintop
Benny My Dear was written by Dan Auerbach & Zella Day.
Benny My Dear was produced by Dan Auerbach.
Zella Day released Benny My Dear on Thu Aug 27 2020.
Selfless love acts without expectation of receiving anything other than the satisfaction of giving. Benny has been crying out for affection for far too long, he struggles to believe that he deserves it. Benny reminds us that vulnerability is the only way out and the only way in.
