Raquel Lyrics - Violent Femmes

Raquel. 

I am not well. 

Raquel. 

And if I was a bell, 

I wish that you'd ring it. 

And if I had something to tell 

I could not unless I could sing it. 

Raquel. 

I am not well. 

And if I was a ball, 

I wish that you'd bounce it. 

And if I give you a telephone call, 

Oh baby, please don't announce it. 

Don't announce it. 

Raquel. 

I am not well. 

Raquel. 

What is this feeling 

that I'm not trying to squelch? 

I don't know your last name, 

I just know it's not Welch. 

Raquel. 

You always cast a spell. 

And if I was a ghost, 

I wish that you'd haunt me. 

But what I'd really like the most 

is baby, baby--that you want me. 

What is this feeling 

that I'm not trying to hide? 

I feel no shame 

but I feel no pride. 

Raquel. 

It's a color call from hell. 

And if you had a brain, 

I think that you'd diss me. 

But if you was really insane, 

Oh baby, baby--could you kiss me? 

Could you kiss me? 

Raquel. 

I am not well. 

Raquel. 

Raquel. 

I am unwell. 

Raquel.
