I Stand Accused Too, Brother Hayes

I stand accused of loving too many flowers I stand accused of spreading too many seeds I stand accused of seeking too many lovers I stand accused of having too many needs I plead absolutely not guilty to the litany of charges ‘Cause I love handing flowers to many women And with all my heart, I enjoy blowing kisses And sending chocolate to my devoted fans I plead not guilty because I am a good man Under the colorful rainbow in the sky, no one Is perfect.I was born to love with all my guts The singing roosters, the gulls, and the parrots I stand accused, and I plead guilty on the charges Of loving too much to many gorgeous creatures I stand accused; I stand accused too, Brother Hayes.
