What's the Use of Wond'rin'?

Featuring Annie Clark of St. Vincent
lyrics
what’s the use of wond’rin’
if he’s good or if he’s bad
or if you like the way he wears his hat
oh, what’s the use of wond’rin’
if he’s good or if he’s bad
he’s your fella and you love him
that’s all there is to that
common sense may tell you
that the ending will be sad
and now’s the time to break and run away
but what’s the use of wond’rin’
if the ending will be sad
he’s your fella and you love him
there’s nothing more to say
something made him the way that he is
whether he’s false or true
and something gave him
the things that are his
one of those things is you
so when he wants your kisses
you will give them to the lad
and anywhere he leads you, you will walk
and any time he needs you
you’ll go running there like mad
you’re his girl and he’s your fella
and all the rest is talk
if he’s good or if he’s bad
or if you like the way he wears his hat
oh, what’s the use of wond’rin’
if he’s good or if he’s bad
he’s your fella and you love him
that’s all there is to that
common sense may tell you
that the ending will be sad
and now’s the time to break and run away
but what’s the use of wond’rin’
if the ending will be sad
he’s your fella and you love him
there’s nothing more to say
something made him the way that he is
whether he’s false or true
and something gave him
the things that are his
one of those things is you
so when he wants your kisses
you will give them to the lad
and anywhere he leads you, you will walk
and any time he needs you
you’ll go running there like mad
you’re his girl and he’s your fella
and all the rest is talk

A Is For Accident
by The Dresden Dollssupported by 197 fans who also own “What's the Use of Wond'rin'?”
Amanda Palmer & Brian Viglione are amazing creators and performers. Brechtian Punk Cabaret is the style of their music, and Amanda's distinctive voice and stage presence is so phenomenal. From the first time I saw and heard them online, I was obsessed. I still am. This album is a collection of live performances that at this point are iconic, at least they are to me. Incredible vocals by Amanda, massive energy from Brian. Joyous.
