I HAVE WATCHED YOU SITTING THERE,
SEEN ALL PASSERS BY ALL STAIRS.
LIKE YOU HAVE NO PLACE TO GO,
BUT THERE'S SO MUCH THEY DON'T KNOW 'BOUT APPLE SCRUFFS.
YOU'VE BEEN STOOD AROUND FOR YEARS,
SEEN MY SMILES AND TOUCHED MY TEARS.
HOW IT'S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME,
AND HOW YOU'VE BEEN ON MY MIND, MY APPLE SCRUFFS.
APPLE SCRUFFS,
APPLE SCRUFFS,
HOW I LOVE YOU,
HOW I LOVE YOU.
IN THE FOG AND IN THE RAIN,
THROUGH THE PLEASURES AND THE PAIN.
ON THE STEP OUTSIDE YOU STAND
WITH YOUR FLOWERS IN YOUR HAND, MY APPLE SCRUFFS.
WHILE THE YEARS THEY COME AND GO,
NOW, YOUR LOVE WILL SURELY SHOW ME,
THAT BEYOND ALL TIME AND SPACE,
WE'RE TOGETHER FACE TO FACE, MY APPLE SCRUFFS.
APPLE SCRUFFS,
APPLE SCRUFFS,
HOW I LOVE YOU,
HOW I LOVE YOU.
