| There’s no bullet proof vest
|
| There’s no barbed wire fence
|
| There’s no castle walls that could keep me from you
|
| There’s no guards or gates
|
| That could change my fate
|
| Because I’ll push on through until I get to you
|
| You can fire away with your cannons raised
|
| You can sink my ships until I’m barely holding on
|
| You can seize my ranks
|
| And push me out onto a wooden plank
|
| But I’ll escape and swim right back to you
|
| So Katie,
|
| You’re a simple girl
|
| Try not to make this so hard
|
| And Katie,
|
| You’re the one I need
|
| But you keep trying to shake me off your sleeve
|
| Katie
|
| I will climb each rung that you have hung
|
| I’ll untangle webs that you have spun
|
| I’ll brave the darkest dungeons of your heart
|
| You can slip away through fire escapes
|
| And run off into hidden caves
|
| But someday you’ll thank me for what I’ve done
|
| Yeah someday you’ll realize that I am the one
|
| So Katie,
|
| You’re a simple girl
|
| Try not to make this so hard
|
| And Katie,
|
| You’re the one I need
|
| But you keep trying to shake me off your sleeve
|
| Katie
|
| And even if your troops come in
|
| Retrieve the flag and take the win
|
| The flame inside my chest will not resign
|
| You can tie a rope around my throat
|
| And drop the plank until I choke
|
| Your men will celebrate with beer and wine
|
| But you’ll feel a sharp and sudden pain
|
| As you watch my colors fade
|
| Katie,
|
| You’re a simple girl
|
| Try not to make this so hard
|
| And Katie,
|
| You’re the one I need
|
| But you keep trying to shake me off your sleeve
|
| Katie |
