Lyrics What Do You Want the Boy to Do? - Bonnie Raitt

What Do You Want the Boy to Do?

So you think the man is crazy
He eats up your lies
Like they’re good for him
Apple pie, he don’t even cry
He’s not a fool
He’s just tryin' to do
What his heart says to
To love you
As you take to the wind
To the wind again my friend
As he breaks down within
Within, within, within
He waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you’ll see
That all he really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone eternally
What do you want the boy to do?
Don’t you see you’re breaking the child in two?
What do you want the boy to do?
All he really wants is you
He knows what you are
Still he’ll be up game
Saved the world today
But you know better
You don’t go around him
Now and then you promise
All the way out things that you’re gonna get
You will see, you will be
So damn glad that you finally found him
As he watches you come and go
Or you show
As he watched you promise a zero
He waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you’ll see
That all he really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone eternally
What do you want the boy to do?
Don’t you see you’re breaking the child in two?
What do you want the boy to do?
Don’t you see that you’re breaking the child in two?
